I am very sorry that Meesha has been diagnosed with CT, and I understand being worried and scared.
From what I have read, some of the things you can do are (and you already mentioned a couple): keep Meesha at an ideal weight, keep her from overheating, and the hardest one of all, keep her from being over over-excited or from over-exerting herself.
I've read that determining the cause of CT can be difficult. Sometimes the condition is congenital, weak cartilage in the tracheal rings. It can also be caused by trauma. Allergies or illness that creates scar tissue in the trachea can also narrow the passage.
There are members here with personal experience who can tell you more.
Praying for Meesha and you that her CT will be able to be managed.
