What Causes Cough With Wheezing?

Lately I ve noticed an annoying cough while I drink a soda. It s an uncontrollable cough and I start wheezing some. I have had this same reaction to Sweet N Low, but the sodas that I drink are not diet. I ve tried different sodas too. I have the worst reaction with Mt Dew and the least reaction to Coke. What could be causing this to occur? I m 39 years old and have drank sodas for as long as I can remember, although I admit I do drink more sodas now than ever before.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having an allergy to carbonated drinks.
So whenever you are drinking these drinks, due to allergy, you start developing bronchospasm (constriction of bronchial tubes).
This bronchospasm causes wheezing and coughing.
So best treatment for you to avoid carbonated drinks.
Incase you drink it and develop symptoms then take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
