Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chronic bronchitis is progressive disease.
Along with drugs, you should follow these lifestyle modifications.
1. Enroll yourself in Pulmonary Rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are done. These will improve your lung functions and reduce your symptoms.
2. Get done adult Pulmonary vaccines like pneumococcal and Influenza vaccines to prevent recurrent respiratory tract infection.
So 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.
