Possibly...: The bronchitis could be due to a bacterial infection, especially with the fever. You may need antibiotics to treat this so if you are not on antibiotics, see your doctor. The infection typically lasts 7-10 days with therapy including antibiotics and inhalers if needed. See your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Depends: Do not know how the diagnosis of bronchitis was made, so cannot clearly assess. If you have had persistent fever you may need further assessment depending upon your associated symptoms. If this continues another day would see a doctor and be evaluated further. Hope you feel better soon.
