I am self diagnosing myself with bronchitis. Is this something I can get through without a doctor? I don't think I can get to the doctor tomorrow without some major maneuvering, which means it would be a whole weekend untreated.

Get yourself off to urgent care tonight then. The last thing you want is for it to go into pnumonia. If you need antibiotics it's best to start asap. Hopefully urgent care can do that for you.

Yeah, I agree...get thee some antibiotics. I tend to think that I can beat bronchitis, a few days into it, I always go get some meds. Then 24 hours I feel better and I wish I had gone sooner!

Hope you feel better soon!

Just a warning, they may not give you antibiotics. Last time I went for bronchitis, I was given inhalers and cough medicine instead. I was told that antibiotics are not the first choice for bronchitis anymore.
