Bronchitis
I frequently suffer from acute bronchitis. First of all it starts with a sore throat and then it turns to bronchitis with mucus in my chest etc.
I usually don't go for medication and it recovers within 1 or 2 weeks.
Does this affect my lungs?
Should I go for medication?
Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatment can be started. If not treated it may worsen over a period of time. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest
