How To Cure Wheezing ?
38 year old daughter with mental disability has been experiencing wheezing today from what sounds like her tracheal area. I ve given her Benadryl chewables 25mg. twice today but her breathing is fast, though she doesn t appear to be in distress, no bluish color around her mouth or gasping. Suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
The symptoms you have written point that she could inhaled some foreign body which has gone done in her trachea; the wind pipe. Wheezing could also be an indication of asthma. In either case take her to the nearest hospital / your doctor or G.P. who should examine and do X-ray if needed to rule either possiblity. More over he will give you the medicines which will differ depending upon the cause.
Hope this will be helpful for you
