Hi, i got Bronchitus 5 weeks ago and still have a nasty cough. my concern is the loss of bladder control. I am a 51 yr old woman who has had 2 children (the last 18yrs ago) and have found the last few weeks very difficult. how can i improve this situation. And when will the cough stop.
Hi. I can understand your concern. It would be advisable to get chest x-ray done if it is normal, no need to worry about lung infection. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). 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 inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
