Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of acute bronchitis is more likely in your friend. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. He will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
