How can you tell when something is bronchitis?

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

With me, usually a mild fever comes back, and I get a lot of chest congestion indicated by a productive cough and mild wheezing. If it gets much worse (more productive coughing that isn't relieved and comes from deeper in the lungs, fever getting higher, and malaise settles in (continually tired)), that's when it's usually slipped from bronchitis to pneumonia.

Ah. I have the mild fever and the malaise and not much else. I think I have patho-just-plain-sick-and-tired-ogy.

when you cough a whole lot, and you go to the doctor, and they look down your throat and say, "Ahh, your bronchias are inflamed," then you know.

(itis = inflammation of)
(bronchia = specific part of your airways)
