Nancy Drew, it sounds from your posting that you have tried pretty much everything that is available through what I call mainstream medicine. It is important to continue monitoring your symptoms to ensure they do not linger longer than what it can be considered "normal" or acute. In your case, it does not sound like a chronic condition, so acute wheezing, when not attributed to an allergen, infection or irritation, may be triggered by extreme weather conditions, strenuous exercise and may even be the adverse reaction to medications.
Whether suffering from acute or chronic wheezing however, the sound of distressed breathing could indicate a more complex respiratory condition that is why you need to ensure that you see your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen. I know of a couple of natural remedies that you can try to alleviate your condition. Give them a try, since they are natural and safe, you have nothing to lose. I am going to assume a few things in your case.
You may be experiencing a narrowing of the bronchia which results in wheezing, which is caused by difficulty to taking deep breaths. Your bronchitis if not treated properly could result in complications that lead to secondary problems such as depression and anxiety, over the fear of being unable to breathe properly.
My suggestions for natural methods to wheezing are appropriate whether the wheezing is caused by an infection or environmental factors:
1. Drink a tea known as coltsfoot or
2. Eat or drink garlic juice.
3. Consume natural herbs such as passionflower, to alleviate muscle spasms and ginkgo biloba, to relax the nervous system, both can improve the effects of wheezing.
4. Licorice tea is another popular product used by alternative medicine specialists. Licorice tea, in one heaping teaspoon added to a cup of water, can improve wheezing in as little as five minutes.
5. Massage the chest with Vick's rub
