Infection of airways: Bronchitis is an infection, viral or bacterial, of the upper respiratory tract. Coughing, sore throat, fever and headache are common symptoms. The disease is spread by coughing -as infected respiratory droplets are blasted out into the air. If ur kissing someone who is infected, ur making it easier for the germs to infect u. Luckily ur doc can help with treatment if it is a concern. Ingats.

Bronchitis: Bronchitis is a cold which has "gone to your lungs". Symptoms can include cough, phlegm, fevers, chest pain, or wheezing. Bronchitis is usually caused by a virus (like the common cold), and can be transmitted through close contact like kissing. Viruses will get better on their own, usually in 1-2 weeks. If symptoms aren't improved after that time, a doctor may prescribe an antibiotic.
