Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...by what you quote I feel that the kid might have aspirated some of the food contents. I suggest you get him back to the nearest emergency to get a chest X-ray done. It might show if there was really an aspiration to cause wheezing and lung involvement.

Wheezing after choking could also be due to a retained foreign body in the lungs.
