There is difficulty in exhalation producing a weeping sound. Sometimes infections produce same symptoms which is labelled as Bronchitis. I feel you need more investigations apart from x-ray. Like HBO, CBC, MX test, allergy tests, culture of sputum if needed. This Wii confirm your diagnosis also the line of treatment. Do you have family HO asthma or allergies?
