Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chronic cough and breathlessness on exertion.
These are commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule lung infection.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotic, anti histamine, anti inflammatory drugs, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) according to the diagnosis.
Don't worry, you will be alright. 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.
