Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist for your chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks). You will need chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection like pneumonia or tuberculosis.PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. Yoi will need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) based on the reports.Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose an Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
