Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If you are smoker and having chronic complaints of cough, breathlessness then you are mostly having chronic bronchitis.
So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Quit smoking if you are a smoker.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
