Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Bronchitis can recur, so we can, should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). If allergic component is there then oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also helpful. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
