Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having post infectious bronchitis.
It is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
It is caused by inflammation of airways. This can cause coughing with mucus expectoration and breathlessness.
You need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs are also helpful.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
