Answers:
No. I don't recommend trying to "ride it out" or self medicate for something like this. My experience with bronchitis nearly sent me to the hospital because I thought I could handle it on my own. I ended up having it for 2 months, and by the time I went to the doctor, he said if I'd waited any longer I would've developed Phenomena.

So please, go to the doctor and get on some heavy antibiotics. You want to kick this thing out of your system before it gets any worse.

Feel better!

:o)Health Question & Answer

Bronchitis can be caused by irritation, allergy, bacterial or viral infection.
So depending on the severity of the problem you can have a check up with the doctor. If the symptoms are mild you can wait and see if it will go with some over the counter medications and cough syrups. You can drink warm water and take steam inhalations. But if it is severe or blood is coming in the sputum or you have fever you should go to the doctor. Doctor will tell you whether it is an infection or an allergy. You will be given medicines according to that. Whether you need antibiotics or not depends on the cause of your bronchitis. Only if it is bacterial infection you need antibiotics.Health Question & Answer
