Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out bronchitis in your case.
Bronchitis (inflammation of airways) is common after lung infection like tuberculosis.
Bronchitis can cause breathing difficulty.
So get done 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.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
In Sion Hospital, Dr. Awad is in pulmonary medicine department. You can consult him and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
