Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cough and bronchitis which is due to upper respiratory tract infection, allergic bronchitis and chronic pulmonary disease. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get chest X-ray done. You should go for pulmonary function tests as pulmonary function tests is needed to diagnose bronchitis and diagnose severity of disease. Go for blood and sputum test first and get it examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. You should take combination of bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. Take proper course of antibiotics. You should take combination of anti allergic and antihistamine medications for immediate relief. Sip on warm water. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
