Hi,Welcome to health care magic forum.
As you describe the the seasonal bronchitis needs more number of medicines. So they cause gastric irritation, hence burning and pain in the abdomen.
I advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment, with minimum drugs.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine, montelekast, and triamcinolone injection at the begening of the winter to avoid the severe infection.
Along with this i prescribe omeprazole, domperidone, and antacid gel .
Avoid taking fruits, juices, ice water, ice cream, and the things allergic to you to minimise the cough and cold.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
