[|Human|] Hi my name is david and i am from chennai. I have had a history of wheezing and yesterday i had a mild sore throat, followed by wheezing even became so bad that i began to choke and could breathe only in certain positions since i was choking my cough kept increasing making my throat even more sore.. Does this mean my wheezing is worsening or is it a one off episode
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Wheezing is caused due to bronchoconstriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages (seasonal allergy or asthma)And whenever an individual with history of asthma is exposed to Respiratory tract infection (sore throat in your case), the symptoms aggravate. Management consists of:1. Treatment of the upper respiratory tract infection by warm water gargles, anti histamines, and antibiotics (if needed)2. Stalin inhaler-provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)So, you can use it whenever you are having an acute attack.3. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma.4. Anti-tussives can also be used to provide symptomatic relief from cough.5. Protect yourself from exposure to cold, dust or other allergens. So, kindly consult your Physician & start treatment accordingly. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
