Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound that occurs when breathing, usually due to narrowed or obstructed airways. It often happens in people with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Wheezing can occur when inhaling or exhaling and may indicate difficulty in breathing. In Indonesian, “wheezing” can be translated as “mengi”, “bengek”, or “napas berbunyi”.
