Reactive airways: It is common for people to develop a temporary asthma like condition due to their bronchitis. It is called reactive airways disease. This can cause persistent coughing and/or chest tightness for a few months after the infection clears up. Ask your doctor about appropriate treatment solutions.

It's something else: If you were treated with antibiotics and no longer coughing out material, the bronchitis is gone. You could have a spring/summer seasonal allergic asthma. Consider treating with antihistamines (like Zyrtec) and inhalers (like Ventolin) daily to see if you can calm your inflamed, irritated lungs.
