What Causes Wheezing And Discomfort In The Throat?

I have had some thing in my throat for about a month. I am a singer and voice teacher with 60 students, so my throat is important. I am now having bronchi whistles, wheasing, and now starting to feel it deeper into my lungs/chest. I get out of breath much easier than normal. Could I have walking pnmonia?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of wheezing and discomfort in the throat which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection. You may have a lung infection or bronchitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles with pinch of salt water. Take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you. Mast cell stabilizers such as sodium cromoglycate is effective to prevent infection. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin at least for 10 days along with decongestants and mucolytic agents.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
