Does wheezing occur every time you catch a cold? Is it asthma?

Patient's question:

The child is 5 years old. Whenever he catches a cold, he wheezes. Now, when he doesn't have a cold, he starts wheezing at 4 or 5 a.m. However, it's very mild and doesn't disturb his afternoon nap. By the third day, everything is back to normal. I wanted to check in with you—should I be concerned that it's getting worse? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your condition is caused by a common childhood cold. It is recommended that you take Xiao'er Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid. Additionally, if the effect is not satisfactory, you can use the Chinese massage method for treatment. Sometimes, using medication alone may not be very effective. You can go to a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital and find a good acupuncturist for acupuncture treatment, which is very effective for childhood colds.
