Hello dear.
I can understand your concern.
I would like to know is there family history of asthma or allergy in your family?
The symptoms which you have told,most likely represent allergic asthma especially if your child has breathing difficulty in the form of raised respiratory rate(more than normal for the age).
It could be simple chronic tonsillitis also.
I would recommend a detailed physical examination by an ENT specialist.
You can also use some home remedies like 1 teaspoon honey in a glass of luke warm water daily especially when there ia start of infection(the very beginning symptoms).
Steam inhalation and luke warm water saline with salt gargles are also effective.
Please avoid giving cold drinks,icecreams,candies and ketchup.Hope it will help.
I wish your child good health :-)Be blessed .
