Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Wheezing suggests bronchospasm.
And bronchospasm needs bronchodilator treatment. Robitussin syrup is cough suppressant and it will not be useful in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system.
You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and N acetyl cystine (NAC - mucolytic and expectorant).. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
