[|Human|] hi,i was recently diagnosed with bronchitis and sinusitus and possible strep. i have been sick for two weeks now. i still have sinus issues but my main problem is my cough. its not productive, dry, and my chest is killing me. every breath i take makes me cough and its hard to breath. do i need to go back to the doctor?thanks
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Best treatment of bronchitis is inhaled treatment. Since you are not taking inhaled treatment, your bronchitis (cough) is noticed improving. So better to 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 is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
