Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more.
It is common after respiratory tract infection.
Your wheezing, breathing difficulty etc are explained by bronchitis only.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will tell you about severity of the bronchitis.
You will need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
