Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
This symptoms of wheezing and cough with bone pain or flu could be upper respiratory infection or acute bronchitis.
It can be diagnosed clinically but you must undergo routine blood investigation with sputum R/ M and C/S,chest x- ray to rule out any other pathology of lungs.
You might require long course of antibiotics (amoxyllin with chavulanic acid or cephalosporins) with other supportive treatment like bronchodilators
(steroids,beta agonists,anticholinergics) inhalers or nebulizers with steam inhalation frequently.
Consult pulmonologist who will take complete medical history and thoroughly respiratory system examination to identify the actual cause.
Regards,
