Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

You have cold induce bronchitis mostly...
Get your respi examination by auscultation ...
If rhonchi heard then bronchoconstriction present....
For which bronchodilator given like theophylin....
To relieve congestion antihistaminic needed.
Steam inhalation helpful in relieving cold congestion....
If inflammatory narrowing more then short course of steroid given...


If thick yellow phlegm also there antibiotic needed.

If no improvement chest x ray done to look for consolidation.
Sputum cytological examination also helpful.

Take care.

With keeping this in mind consult pulmonologist.
