I hate going to the Doctor

But with (probably) bronchitis, that's the plan for this AM. Bah.

Remember that "bronchitis" is not a diagnosis, it is a description. If you have already established to your satisfaction that you are hacking and coughing up unpleasant stuff...well you have bronchitis.

Too often I see a rather glib "here's the Z-pack" approach. Bronchitis can be bacterial, viral, allergic or often as not, mixed. And once in a while it is something else imitating bronchitis...a rather common blood pressure medicine induces PermaCough for instance.

Personally a fan of a short run of prednisone especially if any history of asthma. Antibiotics, more on basis of duration of symptoms, we do not have the equivalent to a paint matching color chart for sputum!

Anyways, get well.
