I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having mostly bronchitis. Since your chest x ray is normal then no need to worry much for lung infection. Bronchitis can cause similar symptoms like cough with expectorant and wheezing. So consult pulmonologist and get done PFT ( pulmonary function test ). PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. Don't worry, you will be alright.
