sinus infection or respiratory infection - antibiotics (I'd call a vet for advice)
gape worm - worm them (I use Avitrol)
pain - I had a hen start wheezing/gasping after I thought she had got "better" from a prolapse... apparently even though she was keeping it all in again she was hurting real bad. Had to have her put down..
none of our vets around here deal in farm animals. had a cocketeil i had to take to the vet and none around here new what to do for him
the one i took him to gave him a shot but he was so nervous about the shot and were to put and then gave us some antibiotic. its a shame no one around here knows anything about farm animals

It depends if it's environmental, bacterial, viral or fungal. If it's environmental, remove or try to eliminate the cause. Bacterial- sanitize everything, treat with antibiotics. Viral- you're out of luck, it cant be treated, cull. Fungal- Clean, remove the source, treat birds with oxine.
