Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of cough, cold along with wheezing which is due to respiratory tract infection. It could be due to poor immunity of body which increases susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood test and sputum test done. Start treatment after proper examination. Yes you can give child inhalation after complete prescription and do not give it for long time. Give child diet rich in multivitamins. Give plenty of fluids to child. Avoid cold liquids, spicy, oily and fried food. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should gargle with saline water. You should take cough expectorants as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
