I'm not sure of : Your exact question, but his wheezing needs to be evaluated & treated by his pediatrician or his pediatic pulmonologist. The symptoms you're describing are those of a viral URI triggering his rad/asthma, but it's easy for his doctor to do a "strep screen" or a throat culture during the office visit. Seeing a doctor who knows him during office hours is preferable to spending hours in an er.

Am guessing that : You want to know if your son has strep throat too?!? Probably since he was exposed with symptoms . Best to see his pediatrician.Also need to control his asthma before it gets worst.

Mgt: Sometimes wheezing can be worsened by a viral infection. It is possible that he has strep, and a visit to your PCP is advised. For his wheezing, he should be started on Albuterol. A virtual appointment healthtap.com/DosanjhMD Code: NCYHPZ
