I think i have acute bronchitis--what should i do?

Bronchitis: If you're young and otherwise healthy chances are the bronchitis is viral. Just use over the counter medications to treat a cough if you have it. If you're starting to have high fevers or chills or if you've had bronchitis for more than 10 days you may need antibiotics.

Need more info: Nearly all cases of bronchitis are caused by viruses, and antibiotics will not help. But you should not self-diagnose. Everyone should have a primary care doc or nurse practitioner to keep track of your health. Did you have a fever? cough keeping you up? Is it productive? Listening to your chest might change your diagnosis to a walking phneumonia, caused by mycoplasma gondii, which is treatable

Acute bronchtis: in non-smokers or non-asthmatics can be self-limited and usually treated with rest and lots of liquid. Signs to watch out for are fever, shortness of breath, severe cough and rapid pulse. Please check with your physician.
