General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

This shows bronchitic changes due to inflammation of your airway associated with your chronic smoking habit. Abstain from smoking. Visit your pulmonologist.

Your doctor may recommend rest, fluids, a cough suppressant and/or a pain reliever. A humidifier or steam may also help. You may need inhaled medicine to open your airways if you are wheezing.

Antibiotics haven't been proven to shorten the course of acute bronchitis or lessen symptoms.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
