Little Wheeze with Cold

Hi My daughter who just turned 2 has just started with a cold today and a noisy cough.I noticed during the day that she also had a little wheeze but it hasn't seemed to bother her and sometimes a good cough seemed to ease it. I have just put her to bed and noticed a wheeze again when she yawned. She has been fine in herself today apart from a runny nose but has eaten and drank loads. I have counted her breathing about 25 breaths per minute so I don't think it is rapid and I am finding it to hear whether to noise I can hear now is her nose or her chest.

Do you think I am neglecting something if she has a wheeze like this. My son gets a wheeze from hayfever and uses a inhaler. I am worried that it could get worse during the night.

That sounds pretty normal for a cold. Unless she is struggling to breath at all I wouldn't worry.

Its normal for little ones to wheeze when they have a cold.
