Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis.
Bronchitis cat cause continuous coughing, hemoptysis (blood in sputum), tiredness, loss of appetite, chest pain etc.
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or fluticasone) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out bronchitis in your case.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
