Hi, unfortunately the symptoms which you describe suggest asthma. Floventn is also steroid for prevention of attacks and albuterol is for treatment of narrow bronchi(breathing passage in the lungs). These attacks are very troublesome for the child and family but usually respond to treatment including steroids. If there is no family history of asthma, the child may get over from them as he grows.
