Hello
Breathing problems may occur in bronchitis due to accumulation of secretion and inflammation of the bronchial wall.
You may require a course of antibiotics for bronchitis, and antiallergic drugs like levocetirizine or fexofenadine group of drugs reduce tracheobronchial secretion.
I would advise you to take steam inhalation and do deep breathing exercises.
complete avoidance of smoking and exposure to dust is advisable.
if it aggravates further than you may require bronchodilator group of drugs like ipratropium or salbutamol group of drugs.
Hope this answers your question, please feel free to ask for further assistance.
Best wishes
