How Long Does Bronchitis Take To Cure Completely?

I was diagnosed with a bacteria virus associated with bronchitis how long should I stay bed rested at home I am on an antibiotic and codine cough medicine . Since Tuesday I still feel it in my chest due to the coughing fits and a little out of it. I was thinking of returning to work Friday but don't know if it is a wise decision as my work takes me in and out of doors. At the end of January I had the flu virus and that knock me out for 5 days. I just don't what to do to possibly extend this sickness. Yes I do smoke cigars but have cut that down to a very minimal act and on my way to quitting. Look forward to your advice. Yes I can go to my doctor but feel out of it. Also the weather calls for below zero w/wind chill in upstate New York. Please advise if you can
