Chronic cold
My son of 2 1/2 has a chronic cold together with congestion and phlegm, most times it is a thick nasal discharge and then develops wheezing in his cough, dr's have prescribed asthma medicine which i am VERY hesitant to give. He has no fever but has very red cheeks which sometimes are warm almost like a reaction to something. he stays away from dairy and doesn't eat much white wheat.I have tried Pulsatilla 30c and Hepar Sulph C 30c on different occasions, neither seems to work.
Is there anything i can give him now and also anything to strengthen his ear,nose & throat system?
He used to have bad ear infections as a baby which stopped when I eliminated dairy.

1. He is normally quite warm, takes his socks off when he gets home and is always out of his blanket even when it is cold at night. however, when it is windy outside even the slightest wind he gets a cold usually within 12 hrs.
2. he has a mild disposition and is very sociable. will share with friends a little shy, with me likes to push boundaries. however clingy to me, when he is home he follows me everywhere and needs only me to put him to bed.
3. there are none.
4. it is always worse in the morning and a lot of the time it gets worse again in the evening.
5. Usually any time he is in contact with any form of wind, even if the window is open, hot outside and there is a breeze. but then again he gets them in the summer as well, so i don't know.
6. 95% of time he drinks cold/room temperature water, drinks quite a bit.
7. normal or loose when he is sick, rarely constipated.
8. move around all the time. doesn't sit still for a minute.

Please give him three doses of Phosphorus 30c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and report back after 10 days.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 1 drop in some 10 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
