[|Human|] I have constant congestion and have no idea how to deal with it.  It is really hard for me to breathe and i have tried pretty much everything but the thing that seems to work the best is afrin. I never used to have this and have now had it for several years.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) 3.  Chest x-ray Chest x-ray is needed to rule other Pulmonary diseases. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You will need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
