Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear parent,
As per your description the child gets attack only when in Bahrain. Are you living in a joint family in India? Which city do you live in, because India as a whole is not polluted. Do both the parents are working at Bahrain, and living the child with day care or care taker? In that case check on the treatment of them with the child. Or he is missing large family.
Pay attention to what triggers his attack. Try to remove trigger.
Start anti allergic and sustenance medicine from India itself.
Start him on nebulization, plain water, three to four times a day. teach him how to do it and ask him to take it many times a day. he is old enough to do it (by nebulizer).
Keep medicines ready always, as soon as you see first symptom, give him bronco dilators, and take medical advise ASAP.
