Brief Answer:
Not much related to previous history

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
If you did a x Ray and it shows bronchitis most probably it is not related to covid or previous bronchitis history. Most probably this is a new infection and not related to previous infection.
I also can recommend you to do a spirometry to check the lungs function.
I think you may need to take antibiotics treatment to get treated.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
