I have a virus infection in my lungs. i run no fever but had this for 3 months. i wheeze and have short breath. how much longer can it last, ?

Get specialist evalu: Is not usual for viral illnesses to last 3 mo. Unless you are immunocompromised. Then could be an atypical infection as mycoplasma, moraxella, chlamydia, etc. Or could be asthma or reflux. Get a lung doctor evaluation and lung tests.
