A member asked:
I have a cold for about 2 weeks i'm not sure if it's bronchitis or a sinus infection. how can i tell the difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: may be both, subtle differences, it's mainly the cough, if more at night then bronchitis could be the case, but the whole respiratory tract (upper and lower airways) becomes inflamed and symptoms linger. You need to see your doctor for assessment and possibly need Rx medications, good luck
