[|Human|] I had bronchitis right after Thanksgiving. I still have a cough. It may be absent for 2 or 3 days and comes back. I know it is not pertussis as I had a booster several years ago. No fever, I don t even feel bad but sometimes cough until I can t get my breath.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion you should get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) first. Because 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. So get done PFT first. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So 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.
