Overview

Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing, usually caused by narrowed or inflamed airways. It can be a symptom of asthma, bronchitis, allergic reaction, or respiratory infection. At Reddy Urgent Care, we assess the cause and provide appropriate same-day treatment.

Symptoms We Treat

  • High-pitched whistling sound when breathing
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest tightness
  • Cough accompanying the wheeze
  • Wheezing triggered by exercise or allergens
  • Wheezing with fever or cold symptoms

    Inflamed airways causing wheezing alongside cough.

When to Go to the Emergency Room Instead

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you or someone with you has:

  • Severe difficulty breathing or inability to speak in full sentences
  • Lips or fingernails turning blue
  • No improvement after initial treatment
  • Wheezing in an infant that is worsening rapidly

If you are unsure, go to the ER. It is always better to be safe.
