Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of viral bronchitis is more likely in your family members.
It is spread by coughing droplets.
So better to consult pulmonologist and start treatment for bronchitis.
Yoi all will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day are also helpful.
Also drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, you all will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to all. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
