Hi,

Thank you for your query.

An audible wheeze which has not responded to the medication which you gave for upper respiratory tract infection needs to be evaluated and managed accordingly. Kindly discuss with your doctor and put your son on broncho-dilator medication for relief.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Wheezing could be because bronchial asthma.
Did he have such problem in the past?
Was there any family history of asthma or allergy?
Does he have any other allergies like skin allergy or eye allergy (allergic conjunctivitis) etc.

He is breathing fast and this cannot be neglected. Please consult your doctor immediately so that your child is given the necessary treatment.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
