Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. You have cold induce bronchitis mostly... Get your resp examination by auscultation ... If rhonchi heard then bronchoconstriction present.... For which bronchodilator given like theophylline.... To relieve congestion antihistamines needed. Steam inhalation helpful in relieving cold congestion.... If inflammatory narrowing more than short course of steroid given... If thick yellow phlegm also there antibiotic needed. If no improvement chest x-ray done to look for consolidation. Sputum cytological examination also helpful. Take care. With keeping this in mind consult pulmonologist. Chat Doctor.
