Hello and welcome to HCM, Bronchitis is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has a remitting and relapsing course. It is characterized by chronic cough and difficulty in breathing. Pain in the chest could be due to muscular pain associated with excessive coughing. A consultation with your physician is required for clinical assessment and relevant investigations like X-ray chest. Medication to relieve cough and difficulty in breathing is also required.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
