Does it take a lot to develop bronchitis?!
Question: Today I was diagnosed with pharyngitis. My doctor prescribed me some medication and warned me that it might develop into bronchitis. But is a serious warning?
To be honest I don't feel bad at all - I went to the doctor because I was tired of the cough. If, apart from the cough and discomfort in the throat, I don't feel that bad do I need to worry about getting bronchitis?

It doesn't take a lot to develop bronchitis, you should put some thought into it, but don't worry to much. Bronchitis, isn't to serious, but left untreated it can become very serious. I have had it before, the doctor said i must have had it for along time because i had the same raspy cough for 5 months, so i began to take medicine. It cleared up in 2 weeks, but if you develop it, and catch it soon, it may not take that long for you to heal. Like i said, you need to be concerned but don't fret over it
Bronchitis isnt usually serious, but it is uncomfortable, especially if you have asthma or any other lung disease. Its when the bronchi in your lungs become inflammed. So it makes it harder to breathe and harder to cough up sputum from your lungs.
