Brief Answer:
yes,you should consult doctor immediately.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of recurrence of bronchitis is more in your case.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
So better to consult doctor, first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
