Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of acute bronchitis is more.
And to confirm this get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
It will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease.
Treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
So get done PFT.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol, salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs are also indicated in your case.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
