Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for bronchitis is viral infection. And this can be spread by coughing.
Since you are having severe coughing, you may spread disease and infect others in tonight's dinner.
So better not to attend dinner and start treatment for bronchitis.
