“Can sperm from semen get into the lungs and cause bronchitis? ”
I have been having symptoms of bronchitis for the past 2 years and I have been swallowing semen, in the belief that it will improve my health, for the same duration too. I am a very healthy person, other than the mucus and the shortness of breath, I have had no fevers for the past 3 years.
So, is there a way sperm could get into my lungs and cause bronchitis, and should I stop swallowing semen?

Sperm, semen or any swallowed element if not regurgitated and aspirated should not get into the lungs and therefore should not cause any respiratory problems.
At your age mucous and shortness of breath ongoing for 2 years suggests you do have underlying lung problem and not likely related to the swallowed seen.
The 1 thing that promptly comes to my mind at your age is cystic fibrosis which when mild is sometimes diagnosed in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life.
Another possibility that comes to mind would also of course be underlying asthma. Neither semen nor sperm I believe are the problem.
