Hi,
first of all: next time when the child will have "tonsillitis" you should take a throat culture (sober), in order to verify if it is any bacteria (for example : streptococcus) and to it aggressively.
If the child is going to have wheezing than I advice you to use:
- Levolin respules (1 mg thrice- fourth a day)
- Prednisolone according the description of the doctor
- If the child has temperature or a prolonged cough you may use an antibiotic also.
You can use Beducort as prophyactic medicine (every day) if the child has frequent episodes of wheezing.
I advice you to stop : Ambrolite-D, Bricarex A, Levocet immediately.
It is not safe and wise to use all of them altogether.
