Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your daughter 's situation and problem.
In my opinion, you should first diagnose her, rather than starting treatment directly.
Recurrent episodes of wheezing can be due to asthma or allergic bronchitis.
So better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and chest x ray.
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma or allergic bronchitis.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
She may need regular treatment with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid, so that such acute events can be prevented.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these, first diagnose her and then start appropriate treatment.
