I had bronchitis about a month ago, I feel fine except my chest hurts off an on. Everyone once in a while I have to cough to catch my breath. Today my chest is really hurting. Do I need to go back to the dr. I m not running a fever or anything. My cough is like as if I smoked. But I have never smoked. The dr. gave me a zpack and steriods.
