Needs re-evaluation: Kindly take your child to her doctor for re-evaluation, she might need more aggressive management, or more medications, good luck

I don't expect it to: If this were an asthma attack, triggered by a single event, wheezing might disappear after treatment. When wheezing is triggered by the constant stimulation of inflammation (respiratory viruses), it may improve but seldom fades completely until the inflammation is gone.Kids this age have bronchiolitis/wheezing from LRI's.Improvement takes time. If worse, recheck, if stable, continue present treatm
