Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Respiratory tract infections: it can be confirmed by investigations like complete blood count & X ray of chest.
Management includes antibiotics under the guidance of your GP

2. Any obstruction in the respiratory tract: causes gurgling sound & difficulty in breathing.
It can be detected by proper clinical examination & bronchoscopy.

So, kindly visit your Physician & discuss regarding this.

Wishing you a good health.
