Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Acute breathing difficulties can be due to acute bronchitis or asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
