Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are having post infectious bronchitis. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways and it is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (flu). Bronchitis causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes chest pain, coughing, wheezing, breathlessness etc. You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
