Suggest Remedies For Persistent Cough, Headache And Shallow Breathing

I hhad the flu which included a fever, a chesty cough, raspy throat an chest tightness and wheezing. I assume that I developed bronchitis, which I tend to do. It has been almost four weeks and I still cough, but more of F a dry cough now and not as often. I still have the sick headache, which never goes away, My breathing is still shallow and I have no energy. I am assuming that I still have bronchitis, but it is going on a long time. What can I expect and what can I do to help myself heal?
