Brief Answer:
Not just allergy, there is likely to be infection in addition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
With the fever and cough it is likely that you have a respiratory infection which has made your wheezing worse.
It is better to avoid ibuprofen as it is a NSAID and can worsen your wheezing. Take only Tylenol or any other paracetamol for fever.
If you are not improving, it is better to see a doctor, have yourself examined and tested as you might require antibiotics for the infection.
