Asthma: One of the causes of persistent wheezing in asthmatics is a bronchial infection. This flare up of asthmatic bronchitis requires a course of antibiotics and use of corticosteroids and bronchodilator(Advair) by inhalation and by mouth(medrol dospak). Of course your physician, allergist or pulmonologist would have to examine you in order to make a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate therapy.
