Some children may outgrow certain allergies, such as milk or egg allergies, but others, like peanut allergies, can persist. 

Some children with wheezing may have lesser wheezing episodes or coughing episodes as and when they grow older, however few children may continue to have wheezing for long time. Its very important to do Lung function test like spirometry or Forced Oscillometry test to identify the nature of the disease and give more detailed information.
