Brief Answer:
Pulmonary function test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

The symptom you have is called wheezing. This usually occurs in long standing obstructive lung diseases. Such obstruction could be either due to hyper responsiveness to allergens or chronic inflammation. Such conditions can only be treated so as to prevent recurrences but cannot be cured completely.

If you have got the pulmonary function test PFT, please share the report here. PFT test provides insights into what type obstruction do you have and whether it can be cured. If you haven't got the test done, please consult a Pulmonologist for the same.

Meanwhile do use your inhalers.

Waiting for your response,
