Could you please help me knowing what it is? and what is that we can do a part from medication prescribed by the doctor? My fathers age is 45, height 5.6 Thanks in advance.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Chichi is auscultation finding of respiration sound. When we heard wheezing sound with stethoscope, this is termed as rhonchi. It is seen with diffuse bronchospasm. Bronchospasm causes narrowing of diameter of bronchi, so the air which is passing smoothly earlier now feel turbulence in the flow and thus makes whistling sound which is known as rhonchi. So bronchospasm is the condition causing rhonchi. Now disease associated with bronchospasm and rhonchi are1. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)2. Acute bronchitis3. Bronchial Asthma4. Bronchiectasis etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and chest x-ray to rule out above causes. You need inhaled bronchodilators for treatment of rhonchi.
