Hello,
It seems your daughter is having bouts of bronchospasm that could be related to viral infections. Viral induced bronchospasm is not uncommon.
Also, if you think she has a specific allergy, then skin prick testing would be helpful to know this as specific avoidance advice could then be provided. A trial of regular bronchodilators (salbutamol or salbutamol plus streoid inhalers) is recommended.
