[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Any kind of smoke (whether its cigarette smoke or hookah smoke) can cause irritation in the airways. This irritation can sometimes produce inflammatory reaction and edema and cause bronchitis. This bronchitis is the main reason for trouble breathing, cough, expectoration etc. So better to quit hookah smoking as soon as possible. Consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. Don't worry, you will be alright, but first quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
