What Causes Wheezing?
My husband has been wheezing off and on for a couple of weeks. We assumed allergies. It gets better and then occasionally he will swallow, choke a bit, and start wheezing again. Then he has the wheezing for a few days. He does not have asthma but will wheeze occasionally when allergies are bad.

Hello,
Wheezing happens when the airways are tightened, blocked, or inflamed, making a person's breathing sound like whistling or squeaking.
Common causes include cold, asthma, allergies, or more serious conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I suggest consulting with allergologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
