Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Viral respiratory tract infections are very common in Air conditioned spaces.
Such viral infection can cause bronchitis.
Best treatment for bronchitis is inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol).
Since you are not taking these inhaled drugs, your breathing difficulty is not complete cured.
So start inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) after consulting your doctor.
Don't worry, you will be alright after starting these drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
