Welcome to Health Care Magic:
You need to rule out Asthma. Get the full Pulmonary Function Tests done. You need two kinds of pumps- one is steroid inhaled another is for opening the bronchi (Called Bronchodilators) and one steroid tablet for 1 week. Bronchodilators give instant relive. They should be you rescue medication. Make sure whether you have Asthma or Bronchitis. But Treatment is same. Important Message: Smoking will prevent worsening of COPD.
