Please get a pulmonary function test done. That will tell about the amount of damage of any.

Hi. I understand your concern s. you will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like chest x ray and pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest.
