Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your wife is having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks).
She had cold initially. So possibility of lung infection and bronchitis are more as both of them are common after cold.
So better to take her to pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
She mayuri nerd higher antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) on the basis of diagnosis.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
