I've been diagnosed with bronchitis, and I'm really struggling with my breathing and I have this persistent tightness in my chest. I've already tested negative for COVID, which is a relief, but I'm worried because none of the medicines or inhalers I've tried seem to be making any difference. What else can I do to ease these symptoms and breathe more comfortably?

I've noticed that black mucus is coming out, but I'm not experiencing any other discomfort. I'm not a smoker either, so I'm a bit confused about what could be causing this. Is this something I should be worried about, and could you suggest which type of doctor I should see for this issue?
Black mucus can be caused by various factors, including environmental pollution, dust, or fungal infections, and in non-smokers, it may also be related to conditions like bronchitis, asthma, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, and in the meantime, consider keeping a symptom journal and avoiding exposure to pollutants.
