A member asked:
If you have a chest infection or bronchitis do you have to have a cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is better: It is extremely beneficial to cough during bronchitis illness. A course of antibiotics and albuterol inhaler can help prevent pneumonia. Have plenty of bed rest, take fluids and carbs for fast energy, advil (ibuprofen) for fever and generalized achiness.
