You didn't say if you are on other meds...... My husband and I both caught something like you are experiencing last January. His lasted about 4 weeks. Mine went on forever it seems. I was still coughing in July. After a visit to the heart doctor, the Dr told me he was taking me off Lisinopril (blood pressure medication) since I was coughing so much (he heard me through the wall). I Have been off Lisinopril for 2 weeks and no longer cough. I never coughed until the bronchitis. I was assuming that my lungs were probably weak due to being a former smoker and that I deserved to cough because of it. I am enjoying my cough-free state.[/QUOTE]

Hmmmmm, I hate Lisinopril because it makes me cough like crazy too. Glad you got off of it and are feeling better. Your original problem was probably over and it was the Linisopril making you sick I'm still in Limbo trying to find a Pulmonary oc. 2 don't take Blue cross and one is not really a pulmonary dr. and another one can't see me until the 23rd. Going down the list. Unfortunately tomorrow is Friday again, and then I wait the weekend. No one will put you on the cancellation wait list unless you have an appt. GRRR WHAT US A GIRL TO DO?
