Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more likely.
Bronchitis is common after pneumonia.
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.
You will mostly improve with long acting inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also beneficial.
Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
