For the past five years I have been suffering from a deep barking like cough during the winter season. It is worse at night sometimes its like a coughing fit but it sounds weird. Last year I had these symptons as well as a high temperature and my doctor said I had bronchitus. He gave me loads of antibiotics and it helped, he also gave me an inhaler which helps a little. My lungs constantly have a tightness on them I dont get a shortness of breathe though. Everyday if I dont have a deep cough I have small cough every now and then. Do I have acute bronchitus ..Does anyone know what will help ease these symptons?
