I have bronchitis without a cough?

[Vinaa]

I was so nervous when I visited the doctor, I forgot to ask him.

It seems strange to me that I have bronchitis without a cough!!

Has anyone here experienced this?

Bronchitis usually does have a cough because of the congestion and wheezing from the secretions. I don't know why you are lucky enough not to have a cough.

By definition, bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi in the lungs, when you look at it in that way. If you Google it, cough is one of the main components. 🤷 I'm not sure which way he was thinking.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the answer. I had nothing but blood and phlegm for four days, and mucus in the nose that would not stop.

I was terrified of phlegm with blood, on the fifth day I decided to visit the doctor. I am now taking the medications that were prescribed to me.

Wow! I really hope you feel better soon.

Next time something terrifies you, don't wait 5 days. It may save your life. It definitely will help get you better quicker 😉

Hi chook, I have copd without a cough and know for a fact I am better with one. Sometimes I will clear my chest one morning, breathing gets easier and then it disappears and it's hard to breath again. Nothing they said they could give me. I was even better when I had covid 😄

Get well soon. Yes, it's incomprehensible how we don't have a cough, I don't know if that makes us grateful or afraid.
