How do i figure out what sounds you would hear while assessing a 12-year-old asthma patient?

Wheezing high pitch: Wheezing sounds high pitched and the cough associated with asthma can be either dry or slightly wet. Your 12 year old should be able to breath comfortably without using his chest wall or neck muscles. He should be able to exercise with other children his age. If he is experiencing difficulty breathing, please seek medical care.

Wheezing: Asthma is often but not always associated with wheezing when breathing out. However not everyone wheezes and the wheeze may disappear when the asthma gets extremely severe. If you need to monitor asthma yourself, you may be better off getting an inexpensive peak flow meter- not perfect but better than trying to listen to the kid's chest. Regular follow up with your doctor is required.
