Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for lung infection because her chest x ray is normal.
Sometimes bronchitis can cause uncontrolled dry cough and headache.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
She may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Don't worry, with proper treatment, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife.
Thanks.
