Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Best treatment of bronchitis is inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Since you are not taking these, you are not improving.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
Yoi will definitely improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and ICS (Budesonide or fluticasone).
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.
