Bronchitis: Your symptoms sound like bronchitis, but could also be mild asthma or pneumonia. Most cases of bronchitis are caused by viral infection, usually show improvement by 2 weeks unless there is underlying problem with smoking or immunity, and resolve without treatment. I recommend an evaluation by your doctor or go to urgent care if you are short of breath or having labored breathing.

Infection??: It could be a viral infection with bronchitis. See a doctor since it has been going on for 2 weeks.
