What Causes Coughing And Wheezing In An Infant?

My 14 month old is coughing and wheezing but her oxygen is good. The wheezing and congestion keeps her up at night. When I give her albuterol her pulse shoots up from 68 to 180. Is this too high? She got sick when she was 3 months and wheezed every day for4 months. Doctors couldn t figure out what was wrong with her. Then they deep suctioned her and she got better over the course of 3 weeks. Now she s been sick for the past 3 months again. I don t understand what is going on with her.
