Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist for your chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks).
You will need chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection like pneumonia or tuberculosis.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
Yoi will need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) based on the reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose android then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
