Brief Answer:
Try inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroid.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more.
It is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI =.. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroid (ICS).
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
