Bronchitis : You may have a bronchitis which may be viral or bacterial in origin. If you also have fever I would see your doctor. However if you only have a productive cough you could try an over the counter cough medicine for a few days and if you do not improve you could then see your doctor. Good luck

Depends on you: How bad are you feeling, can you get liquids in? Do you think you can manage at home? If not then go let the doctor check you out.
