[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion you should 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 as chest pain is also seen in infection. PFT is must for diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) are the treatment of choice for bronchitis. So first diagnose yourself properly and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
