Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray and PFT.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis or lung infection is more likely.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotics and inhaled bronchodilators.
Please let me know if you already done chest x ray and PFT.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
