Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely visit your doctor again.
Since you are not improving (rather worsening) with given medication, we should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case.
Bronchitis causes coughing, breathing difficulty, weakness and tremors of hands.
So consult your doctor and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
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 will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
