Lately I've been having a really tough time with my lungs. 2 months ago i came down with a bad cold that a month later turned into acute bronchitis. I was treated with antibiotics and the usuall stuff they give you, and it seemed to've went away. But a month after the infection cleared up, I notice that every night I experience a whistling sound when i breathe, like I'm still wheezing. It always comes on right before i go to bed and continues all night--it used to be really bad but it's very gradually easing up, but not as quickly as I'd like and it's concerning me a little.
Could this be just a lingering effect from my very bad case of bronchitis, or could it be something else? I'm 21 and don't smoke, it's strange why I'm having this kind of problem...
Hi. Went to the doctor today. He said that he has seen many bad cases of bronchitis this year. He said that it could take a few months for my cough and wheezing to go away. He prescribed me an inhaler called Advair to use for two weeks with one refill. He said that if I am not better in a month to come back in to see him again. He says that I have nothing to be concerned about. Hope this makes you feel better.
