Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You should first quit smoking as soon as possible. If you don't stop smoking, you will never improve. Get done CT thorax to identify cause for these patches. If these are pneumonia related then you will need higher antibiotics. If they are bronchitis related then you will need longer acting inhaled bronchodilators (indacaterol and glycopyronium). Oral corticosteroids for short duration are also needed. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
