Hi welcome to the health care magic
Wheezing sound is because of bronchoconstriction...
Here allergic bronchitis or asthma like condition has to be ruled out...
Your work up done as follow...
-Auscultation
-Chest x ray
-Spirometry if needed
-CBC with differential count etc...
According to cause specific treatment given
If eosinophila present and allergic bronchitis is the cause than fexofenedine prescribed
If high count and neutrophilia present than antibiotic needed
Take care
Consult pulmonologoist for examination with keeping all this in mind
