Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes breathing difficulty. Best treatment of bronchitis is inhaled treatment. This is guided on the basis of severity of disease. And to know severity, you need PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). So in my opinion, you should first get done PFT. PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (Formoterol or Salmeterol) and inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) (Budesonide or Fluticasone).
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
