Inflammation: It may takes weeks to months to recover. The mucus should be sent for culture, since secondary bacterial infection may occur. An asthma action plan including pulmonary function testing and a chest image is advised. A virtual consultation may be useful to you and your PCP. Inflammatory changes may be treated with steroids and a LABA/ICS combination may be used to treat uncontrolled symptoms.
