What Causes Persistent Cough Even After Taking Antibiotics?
Brief Answer:
Get done PFT ( pulmonary function test )
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Your x ray report is clearly mentioning bronchitis.
It is inflammation of bronchi (airway pipes).
And for the diagnosis of bronchitis, PFT ( pulmonary function test ) is must.
This will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
For bronchitis, inhaled bronchodilators are first line of treatment.
So consult pulmonologist and get done PFT.
And if you are having bronchitis then start inhaled bronchodilators.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
