Why do i still have trouble breathing from bronchitis that i got rid of?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...: You may still be having some residual bronchospasm due to the infection and this can cause shortness of breath. See your doctor since this is easily treated with bronchodilator and steroid inhalers. If you smoke, you need to quit asap.
