What Are The Symptoms Of Bronchitis?

Yes -- thanks! I've had a dry cough since exposure to cat dander 6 days ago. I've been incredibly lethargic,
and now when I cough it's so hard (tho unproductive) that my arms and fingers feel as if they'll explode. Do I need to just take cough medicine DM, or see a doc? Could this be bronchitis or worse?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, you are having simple allergic cough.
Along with cough, bronchitis have following symptoms.
1. Expectoration
2. Breathlessness on exertion
3. Wheezing.
So possibility of bronchitis is less in your case.
You are having allergic cough.
So take simple cough suppressant and anti allergic drugs.
Since all these are prescribed medicines, you need to consult doctor for their prescription.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
