Still illin' after all these days....
Prognosis
Acute bronchitis usually lasts approximately 10 or 11 days. It may accompany or closely follow a cold or the flu, or it may arrive unaccompanied by any other condition. It is contagious, and it starts out with a dry cough, frequently waking the sufferer up at night. After a few days, it progresses to a wetter, productive cough, which may be accompanied by a low grade fever, fatigue, and headache. The fever, fatigue, and malaise may last only a few days, but the wet cough may last up to several weeks. For some people, the cough may last as long as a few months as the bronchial tubes heal slowly.

Jaysay:7 days and counting/suffering. I have to respect the timely irony though, I got this the weekend after I was mentioning that I havent been sick in quite a while (other than my snuey allergies) and when I do I'm down for a day and back to normal the next. No so with this beast.
P-anda is exhibiting the first of my initial symptoms, dispite my avid hand washery. Will you be the next to join? If yes... I recommend the Advil NeoCitran cocktail, and something with Expectorant. Decongestants are supposedly out, as you need the chest goo to heal your bronchiolios
