Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you should treat your bronchitis with antibiotics since it has been a long time that you have cough. Also you should do an aortography for aorta to see if you should cure it or keep it in observation according to the percentage of the defect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
