Answer:

| Thanks for your inquiry. We really need some additional information on what your "background respiratory status" is... Is there a history of asthma? Smoking? Does this wheeziness follow or is it associated with a runny nose and / or (other) symptoms of an upper respiratory infection? Is there a productive cough (i.e. do you cough up any sputum)? Is there fever / sweating at night, and / other times? There can be a substantial number of causes for wheezing especially in spring. All we can answer at present is you need to be seen to have a history taken and examined if the wheezing does not resolve. Hope this helps, sorry cannot be more definitive.
