A member asked:
Sudden onset deep chest cough with mucous, but no fever, assuming viral bronchitis? 43 year old otherwise healthy. should i wait to see a doctor?

Depends: If pain, shortness of breath is severe perhaps a visit at an urgent care can reassure and confirm findings. Sometimes the flu and pneumonia can occur quickly. Good luck.
