Hello,
Consult a paediatrician and get evaluated. Possible causes like atopic asthma must be considered.
In severe cases steroid therapy may be required. Identify the stimulus which can provoke the symptoms and avoiding potential stimulus is the key to treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
