Hello
Wheezing cough with severe bouts of cough may be due to these reasons , these includes.
1 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis due to any allergen factors , when such type of patient visit in my clinic I usually prescribe terbutalin+ dextromethophan + chlorapheniramine maleat syrup . Sometimes this type of cough is also associated with infection so I advise them to take levofloxacin 10-15 mg / kg body weight once in a day ( single dose / day ) for 3-5 days .
2 Some rare reason of such type of cough may be ( as you mentioned in your query ) WHOOPING COUGH , if such cough present then consult a physician and get his opinion.
3 Wheezing cough may be due to acute bronchitis so consult a physician and get his opinion.
In my opinion deal as mentioned above.
Good luck.
