Hello,
You are having cough along with dyspnea. Hence bronchitis should be ruled out.
Your work up done as follow:
-Auscultation
-CBC
-Chest x-ray only if needed
If needed, prescribe an antibiotic course. If bronchoconstriction present, then bronchodilator inhalation can be given. Also, consult a pulmonologist for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
