Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yoi are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks).
So we should definitely rule out lung infection (pneumonia or tuberculosis) and bronchitis in your case.
So 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 nerd antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid based on diagnosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
