I have had bronchitis since jan 1,been off work i am still coughing, bringing mucus up when i cough. should i stay off work longer? how much longer?

Strictly: speaking you are NOT "contagious" and can return to work..Ask your PCP (Primary Care Provider) for a COUGH SUPPRESSANT since your coughing may make your work contacts uncomfortable and it's not doing you a lot of good at this point!!! Hope this helps! Dr
