Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of either bronchitis or lung infection is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray. 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Quit smoking if you are smoker. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
