Accepted Answer

Your body does that: Cough is predominant symptom and vast majority of bronchitis is caused by viral infections and will resolve on its own with or without treatment. Typical course is 7-10 days, but the cough may linger for several wks. If no fever, or nasty/colored sputum, and symptoms are improving, no treatment needed--your body takes care of that. Otc cough syrup/mucinex may help. Consult doc. Good luck.

Hard to say: If your bronchitis was caused by an infection it should have cleared up by now unless your immune system is weakened or your lungs are abnormal in some way.  You may have "chronic bronchitis" which can last for months and return year after year.  If you are a smoker then stop.  If you work around a lot of dust/chemicals then wear a mask or find a new job and see if it helps.
