Bronchitis Bronchiol: It sounds like bronchitis or bronchiolitis. The mucus collected in the air tubes can act as a culture medium for bacteria resulting in a bacterial infection. Sometimes if you are healthy you can fight it off sometimes you need to see a doctor to get antibiotics. If it is persisting you must see your doctor. If there is associated fever, chest pain or shortness of breath, it could be pneumonia
