Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your daughter's situation and problem.
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 to rule out bronchitis.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for Pulmonary diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So ask her to avoid stress and tension,be relax and calm.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
