Hi.... Many thanks for consulting with HCM. By what you quote I understand that it could be a multi triggered wheeze. Based on frequency of symptoms & diurnal variation & probably your pediatrician is right in continuing is it. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Feel free to consult at HCM whenever needed.
