Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, these symptoms are commonly seen with bronchitis. Similar symptoms are also seen with lung infection. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) on the basis of these reports. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
