Bronchitis: You don't say if you are a smoker, but 3 wks is a long time to have bronchitis unless it is due to mycoplasma or adult pertussis. Viral bronchitis should have pretty much cleared by now. If you have fever, any breathing problems, or other symptoms you might go see a doctor. You need not stay in bed, but rest and stay well hydrated. Hope you are better for christmas. Best wishes.

See doctor: If you have been ill for 3 wks and the problem is not getting better, it is time to see a doctor to find out the problem. You should not stay in bed since it may actually create blood clots in your legs causing yet more problems.
