Congestion in chest and throat. i am making wheezing sound. can you recommend a over counter medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congestion: In chest could be pneumonia or bronchitis. Sometimes viral infections could get complicated by bacteria, which may require prescribed antibiotics. The swelling and inflammation may produce narrowing of airway, causing the wheeze, granted you don't suffer from asthma.
