2 Weeks Ago I Got A Really Bad Cough With

2 weeks ago I got a really bad cough with fever, wheezing, chills, runny nose etc.. A few days later I went to the doctor, she listened to my lungs and said I had bronchitis. She gave me an anti-inflamatory, antibiotics ( 8 days 2x a day), and an inhaler for 5 days. I immediately felt better the next day. Today was my last day of antibiotics and I feel much better. I don't feel sick at all but I still have a little bit of phlegm that I cough up maybe once or twice a day. My question is, is my bronchitis gone? How long does it take to clear up completely( phlegm & infection)? Thank you
