Hi. I understand your concerns. you will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigations like chest x ray to look for infection. If it's normal then you will need to undergo a pulmonary function test which is needed for diagnosis and also to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatemnt can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. Hope your questions were answered.
