    Yes, it is possible you have bronchitis -- that only means some irritation of the bronchial tubes. The important thing is why, and how to treat it. At this time of year allergies are likely culprits, but it could be a cold or flu. If the condition has persisted and worsened please see a doctor.

    In addition to fluids, you can try hot compresses applied to the forehead to relieve the sinuses, also to the upper chest. A vaporizer can help clear congestion, some people find the zinc-type products help (Zicam, etc). I like to use a neti pot and find that is the MOST effective relief of sinus congestion. While your coughing indicates bronchitis, sinuses are usually the source of such problems.

    Once again -- if the problem has persisted please see a doctor.
