What Causes Wheezing?

I have wheezing in my throat, not chest. I am not sure if its mucus or not. What is it? What can I take for it? I don t have insurance and a doctor. What is the best OTC drug or home remedies? Will it go away? I have been taking Mucinex Expectorant and Sinus Cold and Congestion (Meijer s brand)

Hello,

Wheezing throat could be due to some allergic conditions with respiratory tract. The best way to answer your doubts is to have proper physical examination.

But if you can't afford a doctor you may try following:

1. Clear your throat with frequent gargles esp with salt and turmeric powder mixed in warm water.

2. Drink water frequently and plentyful in a day.

3. Avoid spicy and cold foods or beverages

4. Take steam inhalations.

5. avoid allergens or take utmost precaution for any allegic condition if you have so.

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

Take care
