Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
The symptoms you quote might fit into wheezing, but the thing is it won’t subside by itself like that and usually not associated with pain.
Keeping in mind the age and gender of the kid, I feel you should consider hyperventilation and other conversion reaction like symptoms. I am considering this diagnosis as the symptoms you quote do not fit perfectly into any known clinical syndrome. But I reiterate the fact that conversion reaction is a diagnosis of exclusion after all other physical reasons have been ruled out.
I suggest you see your pediatrician. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
