Emerg doctor says lung infection, antibiotics. finished them, felt sick again. gp says chest x-ray fine, gurgle salt water? struggling to breathe.

Bronchitis?: A diagnosis of infection in the lung usually mandates evidence of lung tissue involvement by chest x-ray or other imaging studies. If you are having trouble breathing and do not have lung tissue involved it suggests an airway dysfunction. Go back and see your doctor and have this solved quickly before it gets worse. Good luck and hope all comes out well.
