Hi, thank you for posting.

Flu is a disease caused by seasonal infections. It starts immediately and it is self healed for a few days, but in some cases it is complicated by secondary infections.
Your concerns are related with a complication of acute bronchitis.
You need to be diagnosed for respiratory tract. Make the following tests:
1. Pulmonary X-ray, to eliminate the possibility of lung infection.
2. Bronchial challenge test.
3. Blood test.
You will need to use antibiotic, pain killers, expectorants and vitamin therapy for increase organism immunity.

Take Care.
