I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of allergic bronchitis is high in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Anti allergic and antihistamine drugs are also useful in this disease. Since all these drugs are prescribed medicines, you need doctor 's prescription for them. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
