If asked for substitute answer is yes.

If you take it blindly without knowing the cause of wheeze, I will say a big "no" please check up with pulmonologist to find out the cause. If any obstructive pulmonary disease is present, then it will help. Still it is not first line therapy, but add on therapy.

Deriphyllin is not recommended for asthma and allergy.
Treatment for asthma and allergy are inhalers, anti-allergy tablets.
You will need a lung function test, chest xray, ige and cbc level following which your inhaler dose and tablets can be decided.

We don't use deriphyllin too often due to adverse effects and few recommendations for use in patients.
