A member asked:
I have two quick questions one what does it mean if a cough gets worse and second does broncitis put pressure or tightness on your chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bronchitis: Cough and phlegm production are typical symptoms of bronchitis. Chest tightness, pressure and wheezing may also occur. These are usually due to viruses in the winter months, but if your symptoms continue for longer than 2 weeks you should see your healthcare provider.
