I am a woman with no particular allergies, take no medication, and have been coughed on by a sick friend. i am wheezing a lot. how do i stop?

Need physical exam: Often times a "cold" is followed by a wheezing illness, and often times it is a mild undiagnosed asthma. Usually bronchodilators medications (such as albuterol/proventil) prescribed by an MD can help. You will need to see an MD to get examined and treated appropriately
