Family. Practice: I'm not sure how you know you don't have asthma. But you have symptoms of it. You may have bronchitis or allergies. You need to be seen.

Are you sure: Wheezing is evidence of reactive airways and/or inflammation. Some may have reactivity during respiratory illnesses and therefore would not carry the label of asthma. If more chronic, some degree of asthma may be the appropriate designation. More important is to be evaluated to see if an acute or chronic medication can help your symptoms.
