    Past time for Doctor!  I get bronchitis almost everytime after a cold.  I try to wait it out too!  Antibiotics sounds like a remedy!

    Good luck!

      No, I am not sick now!  LOL!  A couple of years ago my husband and I went on our first cruise!  Got bronchitis the day before we left.  Went anyway and by the time we got home I had pneumonia too!  I always would suffer for 2 weeks before I ever went to the doctor.  I was diagnosed with RA a year ago so I try not to get sick as I don't have much of an immune system to fight it off!  I would never get rid of bronchitis without antibiotics!  Hope you get to doctor soon!

      Good luck

    Hi, I've been suffering from incessant coughing caused by viral infection, on and off. According to my doc, the key is to have enough sleep, which seems a luxury for me, with three kids. If I have enough sleep, I'm fine. Also. Try to take ginger decoction and gooseberry juice, early in the morning to boost my immunity. This helps a lot. 

    My coughing gets worse when I lie down, I try to prop myself in a Sofa with pillows. Also the tickling sensation in the throat is very irritating and causes coughing. You can try to gargle your throat, with warm (to little bit hot) water and salt. This really helps.
