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!
The key to getting rid of your bronchitis is to find a way to completely eliminate the germs that are causing all the phlegm and irritation leading to your hoarking cough and heavy breathing. Keep reading to learn how to do kill these germs!!

Really, for something as routine and common as bronchitis, you don't need to see a specialist at all. In reality, your primary care practitioner--your regular doctor--can diagnose and treat bronchitis. For that matter, physician's assistants and nurse practitioners do the same, both in doctors' offices, clinics, emergency rooms, etc., on a routine basis.
If you have a pulmonary disease more in depth than that, or specifically want a specialist, you would ask for a "pulmonologist", a physician that specializes in lung problems.
It really isn't necessary to see a specialist however. At least not until your family doctor sees you first and refers you there for some reason.

How old are you? If you're in your teens, preteens, or even early 20s, you could just have a slight hormone imbalance. When I was 13, I would wake up exausted, and as soon as I would come home from school at 4:00, I would go to bed and not wake up until the next morning when my alarm would go off. This went on for about a month. I was tested for mono, but it was negative. My doctor told me that because I'm growing, my hormones could be out of whack, causing the fatigue and that it should level out shortly - which it did.

Actually going to r family Dr. is the norm procedure, unless x-rays/ultra sound be necessary. Because you don't know how much it has effected your lungs & throat. It is a dry cough which
needs Special Cough Syrup and Antibiots & also contagious!
Sweat a cold & starve a fever! Drink as many fluids as u can, I know u don't feel like eating cause of r sore sweety, but u must keep r nutriention up so soup with crackers, jello, mousee, maybe a chicken (whatever) cut in quarters sandwhich, etc. will
keep up r strength & Losenges to sooth r sore throat. Keep very warm , and sweat it out! Hope you get well soon!

Bronchitis is a pulmonary disorder. I have COPD in the form of chronic bronchitis; after discussing the situation with your primary health provider, I would suggest an evaluation by a pulmonary specialist (and be sure to check his/her credentials)

Your normal family doctor should be able to help you recover from bronchitis. I go tomorrow to my family doctor for pneumonia and he has helped me before. Don't wait, it could get worse, trust me.

In my case my PCP was better than a Pulmanologist cause he listened to the fact that I was having "Side effects" of some drugs
