Purring not normal: You should check with your doctor to make sure your bronchitis has cleared up. He may want to take an x ray to see why you're purring.

Check up: As mentioned a chest x-ray might be in order. You should be checked to see if you have residual asthmatic bronchitis not fully treated.
