Does Co-Amoxiclav make anyone else wheezy?

I am a lifelong asthmatic and mild Bronch, and alternate Co Amoxiclav and Doxycycline when I get exacerbations.

I have recognised that my chest is very tight while taking Co Amoxiclav, and resolves when I stop taking it.

It is very effective for my infection symptoms, but would like to hear of any alternative AB's that I could try.

I usually grow H I.

Many Thanks.
