My son has allergies and eczema, he's nearly 7 months.
He wheezes nearly daily and he's had a cough for around 7/8 weeks now which is worse at night or in cold air, it can be enough to make him sick. I know he's young and it's cold season but he's had a number of colds and his cough is about the same cold or no cold, a bit wetter with a cold.
I've taken him to the GP twice, first time given antibiotics, second something to help him sleep and told it's just a virus running its course. It's the wheezing that bothers me more, holding him when he does I feel the vibration of his chest. It's a wheeze or whistle on the exhale. The GP said his chest is clear but by the time I get an appointment he's not wheezing, just coughing. It comes and goes, 80-90% his breathing sounds fine. 1-3 wheezing bouts a day.
He's not overweight, rather underweight.
