Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of either post infectious bronchitis or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is more in your case.
Your all symptoms are more common in bronchitis and LRTI . And viral URTI can complicate as any of these conditions.
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 LRTI (pneumonia).
PFT will diagnose bronchitis if present.
You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
