Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chronic bronchitis is progressive lung disease. You need to take regular inhaled treatment. So consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule other pulmonary diseases. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT is must know the severity of the bronchitis and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). You should also enroll in pulmonary rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are done. These will improve your lung functions and reduce your symptoms. Quit smoking if you are smoker. Take pulmonary vaccines like pneumococcal and influenza vaccines to prevent recurrent respiratory tract infections. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
