Bronchitis isn't something to take lightly. I've had it many times, and found the more I ignored it (and what the doctor said), the worse I wound up and the longer it took to recover (now ain't that a humdinger?). One thing I used to do when I got it was to head off to the bath, put in the plug, but then use the shower to fill the tub & put a lot of warm mist in the air (like a walk-in humidifier). Speaking of which, you might want to invest a little on a warm air humidifier for your bedroom-my mom has had many, many bouts of bronchitis and sinusitis and found one helpful in the extreme (especially living in a desert environment, too). Anyway, take it easy and let your body heal.
