Hello again,
Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.
Answers for your queries.
1. Acute bronchitis may causes hacking cough and phlegm production occurs with environmental allergens (animal dander, pollen, smoking (active/passive), mold and dust). Repeated attacks of acute bronchitis, which weaken and irritate bronchial airways over time, can result in chronic bronchitis.
2. Quitting the smoke will definitely improves your symptoms. I, feel your symptoms are due to allergy.
3. You need x-ray chest, Spirometry, Peak expiratory flow, blood tests (absolute eosinophilic count, serum IGE) and if necessary CT scan of lungs.
4. Yes. You need to see a chest physician or ENT surgeon or pulomologist in case of persisting symptoms.
Hope, I have answered your query.
