Are these signs of Bronchitis?!
Question: I cough a lot, and I am super congested in my chest, also cough up chunky green stuff (Phlem I think?)
It hurts just below my chest kind of between the ribs when I cough
Lost my voice, but it's kind of coming back though.
Horrible sore throat. Feels dry, and like there is cuts in my throat.
What symptoms are these for? Could it be Bronchitis?

You most likely have Acute Bronchitis, unless you have had these symptoms for three months to two years consecutively to be Chronic Bronchitis, of which I highly doubt due to you not knowing if you have it and you would have acknowledged your diagnoses. But in either ways it's horrible.
If you have difficulty in breathing (wheezing), chest pains, fatigue, coughs that ache, uneasiness then for sure you most probably have Bronchitis. And if you do not have it treated now, then it may lead to pneumonia.
Try to stay warm it is cold, drink lots of liquids.
Have yourself treated, thus will proceed in a inspection of your phlegm and maybe a blood test to detect inflammation and white blood cell count.
Obviously don't go frantic, have a check up with your doctor, and you'll probably get some antibiotics, and if you are a smoker try to cut down due to it causing more difficulty in breathing.
Get well soon!
I think it would be best to be checked out by the doctor.
i think it is. i didnt lose my voice, but i had all of the other symptoms that you have. my cough got so bad i could barely breathe it hurt so bad. so i went to the doc's office and they said i had bronchitis. they'll most likely just give you an antibiotic to help you cough up that phlegm. that's what they did with me. so basically you start taking that if they give it to you, and the phlegm and congestion will feel looser and looser, and in a few days you'll cough it up. it wont hurt or anything i assure you. and you feel sooooo much better the cough and stuff goes away like magic! good luck with it you must feel terrible i know i did when i had it!!
Could be. I get bronchitis often after a cold, and I sound like an 80 year old man who's been smoking his whole life. I don't think I get congested. Mine is always a dry hacking cough. When you say pain between your ribs, when you cough does it feel like someone is pinching your lung between your ribs?
If it's bronchitis, there is some wonderful - and I do mean WONDERFUL - cough medicine the doctor can give you. It is the only thing I have ever taken in my life that quieted my cough. It's prescription only because it has codeine in it, I think. I don't really care what's in it as long as it works. Ask for it.
It seems like it but im no doctor lol
go see one to make sure your ok though...wouldnt want u die
