See doctor: Chronic bronchitis not uncommonly can get superimposed pneumonia. If change in symptoms and production of different sputum occurs, your physician should be consulted. Possibly sputum cultures and chest radiographs may be needed. Other complications of chronic bronchitis can include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sometimes respiratory failure.
