What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Cough?

Possibility of bronchitis or pneumonia is more.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis or pneumonia is more.
Coughing, expectoration, breathlessness, low stamina etc are characteristic features of bronchitis and pneumonia.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out pneumonia.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and other supportive treatment.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
