Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, possibility of bronchitis or lower respiratory tract infection needs to be ruled out and X-ray chest as well bronchodilators therapy may be needed. Steam inhalations and anti histamines may help but repeat antibiotics therapy might be needed with macrolides or quinolone antibiotics.
