[|Human|] My doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis miserable days ago, he put me on advair for shortness of breath and that seems to be working. But the antibiotics i am takeing (azithromycin) not sure if they are working yet? But when i go to bed and try to sleep it really gets bad. Feels like i cant get the mucus out of my throat and i try to hack it up off and on all night long, not much sleep the last 3 nights. When i finally do nod off awhile it dont last long. And from the time i get up to about half the day its the same way. My body feels like mike tyson has beat the hell out of it. Not surehow to get some rest. and get rid of this annoying infection. bought a vaporizer today hopeing that helps. Any advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
[|AI|]  Hi. I can understand your concern.  Chronic cough is commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. Get a chest x-ray done if it is normal, no need to worry about lung infection. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed 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 may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
