A member asked:

I had the flu a week ago. fever is gone but my cough is constant, ton of mucus in chest. doing nebs every 4 hrs. bronchitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Below: You prob do have bronchitis Now the question is whether it is viral or bacterial. You will need an exam by your DR to make that determination. In the meanwhile drink at least one gallon of water per day. This will loosen the "mucous" and make it easier for you to cough it up.
