Dear Ms
Discolouration of tongue is quite common during episode of fever and there is nothing to be worried about.
I would suggest you the following
1. Antipyretic like Paracetamol for control of Fever
2. Multivitamin Syrup will help reduce discolouration of tongue
3. Normal Saline Nebulization will help relieve wheeze
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
