Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are having post infectious bronchitis. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways, and it is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (flu). Bronchitis causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes chest pain, coughing, wheezing, breathlessness etc. You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
