Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Nothing to worry for your blood reports and slightly raised SGPT. In my opinion, your breathing problem is mostly due to exposure to perfumes at your work place. Perfume when inhaled can cause irritation and inflammation of the airways. Since you are working there, you are exposed to perfumes heavily. So chances of perfume induced bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. Treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).. Wear face mask during your work to prevent perfume inhalation. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
