Cough: It is a common symptom and may produce mucus or phlegm.

Chest pain and chest congestion: Some people with bronchitis may experience chest pain and congestion while coughing due to mucus building in the chest.

Shortness of breath: It causes difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity.

Headache and Fever: A fever with headache may be present in people with bronchitis, especially if it is caused by an infection.

Sore throat and Wheezing: It can be a symptom of bronchitis, especially if the cough is producing phlegm and causes a whistling sound while breathing.

How We Diagnose Bronchitis at One Medical Center

Our bronchitis diagnosis begins with reviewing your symptoms and performing a physical examination that includes examining your nose and throat. We will also listen to your lungs to see whether you have trouble breathing.

Besides we perform the following tests for a complete diagnosis:

Sputum Test – Examines the phlegm to determine the microorganisms causing your cough.

Chest X-Ray – To see how far your lungs are affected by fluid accumulation.

Pulmonary Function Test – Measures how much air you can hold in your lungs and how quickly you can exhale. This test helps to diagnose whether you have other conditions like emphysema or asthma.
