Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having bronchitis.
It is common after upper respiratory tract infection.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only.
So consult pulmonologist and start appropriate treatment.
I find this answer helpful
