A member asked:

How long does it take to get rid of bronchitis. do i need to stay in bed all day. how can i take of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: This year I have seen a number of patients with cough for three weeks and more. There is no need to stay in bed. Get up and get things moving. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. Take meds for symptomatic relief. Report to your doc if things don't seem right or if you develop serious signs or symptoms.
