So I woke up Thursday coughing, I went to work got sent home sick. I went to the drs on Friday. Dr told me I had bronchitis. I got cough syrup to help with the coughing. Now it feels like I have a cold. After 3 days I still get hot and cold, I also get out of breath easliy if I do to much. Is this normal when someone has bronchitis. I only ask b/c this is my first time with bronchitis. I am 24 yrs old and before I had this I was health. Thank you for your time.
 
zeeb,
A cold w.bronchitis can absolutely wipe you out, make you miserable and yes, make you feel short of breath.
Normal.
Drink lots of tea and fluids- it'll help loosen the congestion.
Don't overdue anything for a few days.
Nice and easy and you'll feel better soon.
Just so you don't panic, the cough is often the first thing to come and the last to go!!

Yes, bronchitis can get worse if not properly treated. Did the doctor give you an antibiotic?

Pneumonia can result from bronchitis.

Taking Mucinex will help keep the mucous thinned.
 
Thank you for your reply.
The dr gave me Guaifen/Codein Syrup. He told me that this would help my cough and so far it hasnt help. I have been taking this like I am suppose to, every 6 hrs 1-2 tsp. I have been taking 2 every 6 hrs. Also I am coughing but nothing is coming up, but I can taste it in my mouth.
