9.5, because of the tightness in your chest and the inability to breathe can be quite uncomfortable and scary.

It can range depending on the type and person. I have had mild acute bronchitis and I would rate it at a 2.5 or 3. I have also had severe scute bronchitis which was like a 8 or 9. Chronic Bronchitis which I get now and my mom gets is like a 10. No matter what kind it wears you out.

Have you got bronchitis? Get well soon! It's like a very bad cold if you have it just once, however, some folks get it again and again and it becomes chronic. It can be debilitating. I get it every time I catch a cold and it really puts me down. I don't get enough oxygen and just climbing the stairs in my house is exhausting. The wheezing and whistling from my lungs wakes me up at night. I just generally feel like crap and can't do anything thing active and fun.

It can be pretty bad, had it once. You can feel the pain in the lungs everytime you cough. The steroids they prescribe does a pretty good job of knocking it down fast.

I say 10, it can be a killer, and it is very distressing. It is the inflammation of the Bronchial tubes.
