Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having bronchitis and chest infection. As chances of both are high when patient is smoker.
So better to get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT).
This will help you in diagnosis of bronchitis and also to rule out infection.
Treatment of bronchitis is antibiotics and inhaled bronchodilators.
But first and foremost you need to quit smoking.
About improving immunity, you should go for pulmonary vaccines like pneumococcal and h.influenzae for prevention of lung infection.
And quitting smoking will also boost your immunity.
I find this answer helpful
