In year 2009 i relocated to Delhi and I have absolutely no problem of bronchitis. Unfortunately i am transfered back to bangalore. I am feeling short of breadtChatDoctoring back to bangalore. Kindly help what care should i take here?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having allergic bronchitis. Environmental allergens in Bangalore is causing you these symptoms. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system2. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will improve with inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
