A member asked:

For 2 weeks had sore throat, coughing, runny nose. cough is bad at night. dr gave me hyrdrocodone. took it and still coughing. can it be bronchitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although, the symptoms are 2 weeks old, it could still be a viral infection. If cough continues, i would recommend seeing a pulmonologist (chest doctor). You may very well have a viral bronchitis. Ideal approach is to culture the sputum and rule out a bacterial infection. If the Codeine is not helping, stop it.
