Hello
Thanks for your query.
If you are a smoker kindly stop smoking first. Bronchitis may remain for prolonged period and it is to controlled by proper evaluation by spirometry, risk assessment and symptoms evaluation and proper management by smoking withdrawal and inhalers if needed. Consult a pulmonologist and get yourself thoroughly examined and discuss these issues which I have mentioned.
Thank you.
