Breathing issues
Dear Doctor,
My father is 79 years old. After his afternoon nap and sometimes at night, but not when he is asleep, he has trouble breathing and makes a wheezing sound when he breathes. He is suffering a lot because of this problem. Could you please suggest some medicine or treatment for him?
