Bronchitis: If you have bronchitis with cough and fever, it is superimposed with bacterial infection. Have cxr, and see the doctor for antibiotic. At present -no for work & around the people. If you have no fever and condition is chronic then with treatment you should be able to live a normal life like copd, emphysema, and asthma people. Thanks.

You are infectious: You most likely have a viral infection and will stay infectious for about 7-10 days. The right thing to do is to not expose others. The best way to do that is to stay out if work but you can also protect others by coughing into your sleeve and washing your hands any time you touch your face.
