A member asked:
Should i go to school with acute bronchitis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Depends if your symptoms are improving or if you have a fever. If you are without a fever and your cough is improving, you can return to school provided u cover your mouth when u cough and wash ur hands frequently or use purell.

No: Acute bronchitis is still in the stage where transmission of viruses or bacteria is possible. Most physicians treat acute bronchitis with a course of antibiotics and once fever and heavy cough with sputum production are much improved, then return to school is reasonable.
