Suggest Treatment For Wheezing, Cold And Sore Throat

I have a cold, sore throat, massive mucous drainage, and a productive cough. My chest is tightening up, and I am occasionally wheezing. My temperature rose to 100 degrees F. over the past couple of hours. I am experiencing shaking, coughing, and a lessening of mucous production. As a child I experienced bouts of bronchitis with fever. I have nasal allergies, one of which is to tree pollen, also mold and dust. My worse allergy is to cats, but I have not been around cats at all. It has been many years since I felt the way I do now. About 35 years ago I had a prolonged exposure to a high level of cat dander, which eventually resulted in a bad attack of allergic bronchitis. I was diagnosed with asthma at that time, for the first time. I have not been treating asthma for many years, as there seemed to be no need to do so. However, I am experiencing significant wheezing with this cough. I am drinking fuids, resting in bed, coughing up whatever I can. I took some bendryl about 3 hours ago ,,which probably explains the reduced amount of mcous production, although it still is significant) and I took ibuprophen about 30 minutes ago. which probably explains the reducred amount of mucous production, although mucous is still significant. I am 75 years old, and I seldom have a coid, although I do experience chroniccaly a small amount of drainage.
