I once suffered from Chronic Bronchitis. I would suffer sometimes 3 to 4 times per year! Usually when there was a major change in the pressure outside (I live in the north, and the temperature spikes and dips do wonders to chronic sufferers of bronchitis!). Each time I would get horrible hacking coughs, hoarking up green phlegm..it was so frustrating!

PROGNOSIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With treatment, acute bronchitis usually clears up in one to two weeks. The cough that accompanies the disease may last for several more weeks, however. By contrast, chronic bronchitis is a progressive disease. Brief improvements may be seen, but in the long term, no cure is available. The disease often develops into emphysema or other lung diseases, all of which are eventually fatal.

most certainly, esp in young children, weak elderly are usually victims. can be very fatil, maybe and most likely considered contagious, if you are around someone with this, wash hands and use all sanitary precautions.
watch over them as they SHOULD be on antibiotics, make sure they are eating, getting plenty of fluids, staying warm.

If it goes untreated it can turn into pneumonia and then you could die from that.
