Brief Answer:
Needs supportive care . wait and see. No worries

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. inability of Drawing a deep breath with recent bronchitis or any other respiratory tract infection is normal and resolves slowly and gradually. If you do not have anir hunger while breathing shallow or normally then ignore the deep breath inability for a while. Once the inflammation and infection clears up, this issue will resolve. Just stay compliant to the medications and try inhaler if breathing difficulty is there. You may also request a pulmonary rehab program where lung therapist teaches you how to take a breath with ease .

meanwhile try to avoid lung irritants that could worsen your bronchitis , wear face mask outside and try to use a humidifier in home. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
