Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Bronchitis

Yes I have been treated for bronchitis twice within a 4 month period and my symptoms get better but just keep coming back. I get a lot of phlegm buildup in my throat, and an annoying cough, sometimes no matter what I eat or drink the slightest burp a little bit of food or fluid comes back up, It doesn t burn at all. And at times i have problems swallowing the air I breath, I was wondering if this could be a concern? Awhile back a couple Drs. Has asked if I have trouble swallowing and I didn t bother to ask the reason for that question, and I tried thinking about it and I ended up saying no

Hello,

A recurrent bout of cough and expectoration are also seen with pneumonia. This is the reason why the doctor was asking about the trouble with swallowing.

In my opinion, you should get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scope and CT thorax. Upper GI scope is needed to rule out aspiration. CT thorax is needed to rule out pneumonia as a cause for a recurrent cough with expectoration.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
