Suggest Me Medication For Bronchitis With Breathing And Wheezing Problem?

I have bronchitis and I get this pain on the left side of my chest when I take a deep breath. It's gotten better the past couple days, but now I'm wheezing and everything I try doesn't seem to be working. I've tried the hot showers, the humidifier, drinking lots of fluids, etc. nothing is helping. What can I do to stop the wheezing and stop the breathing pain??

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, I think you are having bronchitis.
The most common cause for this is lung infection.
So I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
So get done PFT.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators, antihistamines and antibiotic drugs.
So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
