I m confused if this is asthma or bronchitis .. whenever i get into sleep im getting up coughing.. Please help..
Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorYour having post viral bronchospasm more so in night hence consult a Chest physician and if bronchospasm is confirmed and there are signs of infection then a prescription based antibiotics, bronchodialtors in inhalation and if need is there short course of oral corticosteroid will help him greatly. After viral infection sometimes bronchospasm is there, and it may not occur for very long time a din asthma recurrence is there with exposure to allergen and seasonal. Take care Good Luck
