How long can it take chronic bronchitis to develop if i think i caught it 3 months ago ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Until you treat it: Most of us get bronchitis which is present in every chest cold or upper respiratory infection. These usually last onlyl for 3 to 5 days. Hence, some doctors are penalized if they use antibiotics before giving the bronchitis a chance to run its course. These are usually viral and antibiotics won't help and will make things worse in the long haul.
