A member asked:

What to do if i have had bronchitis for about seven month and i'm worried it's becoming pneumonia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: If you have been sick for that long you clearly do not know what you have. It could be asthma, copd, coccioidiomycosis or who knows what. Go get seen and get a diagnosis.
