My chest infection has cleared up but I am short breath and extremely tired with pains in my muscles.should I go back or just rest for a couple more days.appreciate your comments. Thanks, Michael
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having post infectious bronchitis. Bronchitis is inflammation of larger airways. And it is very common after chest (lung) Infection. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. PFT is needed not only to diagnose bronchitis but can also tell about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor.  So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
