At night, the cough has worsened, with some shortness of breath, and there are faint sounds when the throat breathes. Based on these symptoms, it is more likely that the child has allergic asthma. It is recommended to continue medication and follow standard treatment, which should improve. As for eczema, you can use some eczema cream and keep the child's skin dry at ordinary times.
