Hi. I understand your concern s. Yours is a chronic problem so better to continue with medications that you are on right now and consult a pulmonologist for a detailed examination and investigation after about 2 months.

As per your vague history you can be having sequale of tuberculosis like bronchieatatis or BPF etc or can be simple excarbation of airway disease with secondary infection
