Hi,
Shortness of breath and wheezing is generally because of underlying chest infection or because of a blocked nose. So get some drugs like nebulizers and anti allergic (monteleucast) with a antibiotic. Do some tests like C x-ray, X Ray PNS, blood counts and a 2D Echo. You will be fine soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari
