Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of bronchitis is more likely.
Bronchitis is inflammation of airways.
And it is common after allergy or cold and it can cause chest tightness.
So drink plenty of fluids orally, do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Take simple antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) combination once a day at night.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
