Brief Answer:
Possibility of bronchitis is more likely.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You are having cold and now wheezing.
So possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more likely for your wheezing.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Please let me know
1. Do you smoke?
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
