Cough and wheezing points towards airway allergy. The chest needs to be examined properly. A proper history of your wheezing needs to be taken. Allergen exposure should be ruled out and proper avoidance measures should be avoided.
Treatment will depend on your throat and chest findings. You may need a bronchodilator or corticosteroid. It is best to visit a doctor physically.

Cough and wheezing means you are having constriction of tracheobronchrial tree of airway due to inflammation or asthma.
Salbutamol is used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as coughing, wheezing and feeling breathless. It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways into the lungs, which makes it easier to breathe.
Steroid inhaler will help relief the inflammation.
