What's the best treatment for Chicken wheezing and coughing.

It would be best to first start taking a look at environmental issues that would cause the symptoms you're seeing, for example; inhalation of feed dust or granules, dust from dust bathing, pollen, ammonia fumes from soiled bedding, improper ventilation with the coop, mold or fungus inside the coop, pesticide use etc.
Most of these problems can be corrected or eliminated.

One of em was kinda stressed right from beginning. Today I noticed her wheezing. She is really lethargic and doesn't eat well.

I avoid rescue chickens because I dont know their history. There's no telling what their previous environment was like and what they were subjected to.
Wheezing, if not environmental, could possibly be the onset of a respiratory disease. However if that were the case, the others would be showing symptoms as well.

Inspect your hen for lice and/or mites, especially around her vent area. They all probably need to be wormed. I recommend Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer or Safeguard liquid goat wormer.
The hen that is wheezing and coughing, it would be best to gather a fresh fecal sample and take it to a vet and have them take a look at it under a microscope. They'll tell you if there is an overload of coccidia on the slide as well as what types of worms she may have, particularly capillary worms and/or gapeworms which are of major concern.

I will surely do that. I think it's best to get her checked before it's too late.
Thank you so much for all this info. Means a lot.
