Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your allergic conditions have lead to decreased immunity and has made you more vulnerable for bacterial infection. You may be having secondary bacterial infection which as lead to infection of the throat causing difficulty in swallowing. As you are having bronchitis it has lead to irritation of the mucosa of the throat and causing the symptoms like cough and constriction of the bronchus. Chronic irritation of the throat can also lead to difficulty in swallowing. I would suggest you to avoid the triggering factors which precipitates the episodes of asthma. I would suggest you to follow1. Salt water gargling2. Oral antihistamines3. Oral bronchodialatorsYour symptoms will improve with these remedies, if it is not improving you may require chest X-ray and blood examination. Thank you.
