I cough up clear mucus everyday, for about 6 months now. I often am wheezing until after I use an albuterol inhaler.This is all worse in the mornings.

How do I know if my cough is just a cough or bronchitis? No mucus, but I do have wheezing. I have a dry cough whenever I take deep breaths. I do have asthma & have used my rescue inhaler, but no long term help
