Hello,
The current breathlessness is due to bronchi spasm from underlying mucus.
In our clinic, addition of expectorant formula is recommended over and above the said molecules. Deep breathing exercises and semi reclining position preference will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
