Brief Answer:
This is worsening of bronchitis.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of worsening of bronchitis is more likely.
But we need to rule out lung infection also.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
Chest x ray is must for the diagnosis of lung infection.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
