Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
The recurrence of you symptom(yearly) suggest it is probably a Chronic obstructive bronchopnuemopathy that may be superinfcted.However, bronchitis is mostly caused by viral infections and may need only symptomatic management but bacteria infection or superinfection is common and will need a course of antibiotics.I will suggest you take a mucolytic like carbocysteine, a bronchodilator like salbutamol syrup.You will need a chest X-ray to evaluate the state of your lungs.
I will advise you see a Doctor a chest X-ray, sputum exam and other respiratory work-ups like spirometry and peak flow tests.Given the chronic nature of your problem, these investigations will be necessary.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
