You poor thing =( Are you able to take antibiotics for it, or is it a viral strain? I had viral bronchitis in year 12; it had me in bed for a week trying not to break a rib with the coughing =/

Oh nooo :( I'm so sorry! *hugs* to you, and I hope you feel better soon. Is someone sitting by your bedside spooning the chicken soup in and patting you encouragingly?

I've got a prescription for anitbiotics, but the doctor reckons i shouldn't take them until later in the week, he thinks it might just clear up.

Nah, I'm not actually that sick (good thing, too, or I don't know how I'd have got to the doctors' - it's a fifteen minute walk from the bus interchange).

Is that the source of the fever chills etc. that you've been talking about recently, do you think?

He seemed to think this was secondary bronchitis, but I remember having the cough *before* the rest of the flu symptoms....

How weird. :/

Even though you and Kylee share a brain, I think you and I must share a respiratory system. *sick role brofist*

Take care of yourself! Hope you feel better soon. :3

Then I blame *you* for putting all the nicotine into it :P

Oh how charming. However, now that you have a diagnosis, has the medical person come up with a more specific treatment regime than 'painkillers and bed'?

Ah. I had that last fall and winter. Yes, it lingers like a mo-fo.

Stay at home and rest until thew initial infection goes bye-bye. Drink lots of liquid-- I drank gallons of tea. If you sweeten the tea (or whatever) with honey, it soothes your throat. If you are so inclined, find a good recipe for a Hot Toddy. Be gentle with yourself-- if you have bronchitis, your lungs will not be up to par for a long time.

Have a nice day!

I have a prescription for antibiotics, but said medical person thinks it will probably go away by itself.
