[|Human|] I have bronchitis and I get this pain on the left side of my chest when I take a deep breath. Its gotten better the past couple days, but now Im wheezing and everything I try doesnt seem to be working. Ive tried the hot showers, the humidifier, drinking lots of fluids, etc. nothing is helping. What can I do to stop the wheezing and stop the breathing pain??
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, I think you are having bronchitis. The most common cause for this is lung infection. So I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2.  Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators, antihistamines and antibiotic Chat Doctor.  So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
