Hi...by what you quote I feel that he might be having a - multitriggered wheeze or a viral associated wheeze. Coming to your queries -
1. This is an allergic condition and the kids usually grow out of the symptoms. allergy can only be controlled but not cured.
2. No foods need to avoided. This is not food allergy.
3. He can play like any other normal kid - provided based on his symptoms he might be required to be administered inhaled corticosteroids.
4. Meconium aspiration kids are known to have some hyper reactive airways like here but there are also other reasons like family history of asthma or atopy or allergy etc.
