Today my 5 year old son felt wheezing problem. when i took him to the doctor, it is bcoz of ibuprofen i gave him for past two days for cold.is it right?

I do not know: If the child reacted to one of the ingredients in the Ibuprofen (like the dye) then it is possible that the wheezing was from that - an allergic reaction. Often wheezing is form a cold as well...If you stopped the Ibuprofen and the wheezing did not improve then have your child seen again.
