Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more.
This is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection. And your breathing difficulty is also due to bronchitis.
So better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
You will mostly improve in 1-2 weeks.
And yes, you should definitely do exercise and work outs as they are good in bronchitis. Protein supplements are good in bronchitis.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
