<bot>: Hello Many, Wheezing is caused due to bronchoconstriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages (seasonal allergy or asthma) Management consists of: 1. Inhaler-provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)So, it can be used during an acute attack. 2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma. 3. Antihistamines can also be used to provide symptomatic relief. 4. Protection from exposure to cold, dust or other allergens. So, the medications prescribed by the Pediatrician is correct. Please continue them as advised. If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult the Pediatrician again. Wishing your daughter a Good Health. Let me know if I need to clarify further. Thanks & take care.
