Hi,
Do you, or have you ever smoked?
I smoked for 5 years in my 30s and got repeated bronchitis which evenaturally wouldn't clear with antibiotics.
As the weather gets colder, even now in my 60s I have to watch out because if I get a cold it turns into bronchitis within a week.
Also you may have cold air asthma. Have a check up with your practice nurse, who can do a breath flow test.
Mike.
