Acute bronchitis commonly causes a cough after a viral respiratory infection. Cough, mucus, chest discomfort, fatigue, and wheezing can occur. Your provider will review breathing symptoms, fever, smoking history, asthma or COPD, and risk factors for complications. Treatment often focuses on supportive care, but testing or in-person assessment may be needed. Seek urgent care for trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion, blue lips, or coughing blood.
