Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Breathlessness in 18 years old patient can be due to bronchitis, pneumonia, pneumothorax, asthma etc.
So your cousin needs following investigations to establish the diagnosis.
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
So get done all these tests. First diagnose himself and than start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your cousin.
Thanks.
