Ahhh, I'd forgotten about bronchitis. I'm not running fever, so I'm assuming (famous last words, huh?) it's not pneumonia. Used to get bronchitis all the time, almost after every sinus infection. I guess maybe I should call the doc back in the morning to run this by him.

I'd get to a doctor asap if you suspect congestion in your lugs/chest. This was often the case with me when I was younger and suffered with many head colds. Get head cold, stuffiness would eventually subside in my sinuses, and I would begin having lung pain/wheezing, and more often than not, it would end up as bronchitis, which can turn into pneumonia.

Wave Beary, I see you already are on the case here too! Oddly this question is asked after we've been discussing sinus infections huh?

Edited to wave Cherie as well!
