Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of either bronchitis or lung infection is more.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotics, antihistamines, anti inflammatory drugs.
Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) are also useful in this.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
