Hi thanks for contacting HCM.
Noted 3 child having flu...
Two get relief by decongestent syrup.
Third one getting worse by wheezing also.
His respiratory examination done by auscultation..
Respiratory rate counted...If it increased then chance of infection...
Here that child have bronchial constriction so wheezing can occur...
His lower respiratory tract might affected by RSV like virus...So bronchitis or bronchiolitis can be there...
If needed nebulization might given...
Consult pediatrician for proper examination and treatment.
Hope your concern solved.
Take care.
