It is of no use to have a label at his age. Many babies having wheeze usually free of wheeze by 5-6 years. But so long as wheeze recurs you will have to treat irrespective of the fact whether you call it asthma or not. Family history predisposes him to more risk of being astmatic at later age but not necessarily so.
