Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having post infectious bronchitis.
It is very common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) like cold. It is due to inflammation of the airways (bronchitis). This causes bronchospasm and this spasm inturn causes breathlessness.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
