Your doctor might have detected some wheezing in the chest. It often occurs during an episode of cough and cold. It is generally caused due to certain viral infections and is self limiting, resolving in 5-7 days. It is unlikely to be serious but nevertheless needs medical supervision. Asthalin is a bronchodilator and must have been given to relieve wheezing. It is safe to be given to a child of 2 months and is recommended for relief of bronchospasm which causes wheezing.
