Do I have bronchitis?!


Question: Do I have bronchitis?
I caught this from my boyfriend , I believe... last night it started with a cough and scratchy throat. Since the weather is very cold here, I think I may have gotten worse just in 24 hours... My face is starting to get very warm; I have a little mucous that is starting to slowly work it's way out; my lungs(or the tubes just above them) feel kinda cold / numb with trouble breathing sometimes... I can't afford to go into the doctor...

I have been drinking broth and lemon tea... but I am afraid it will turn into pneumonia- since I was little , I've always had trouble (almost had a tracheatomy when I was little)...

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

There are many signs of acute bronchitis which are generally much like the symptoms of flu or cold, and consequently many individuals don’t pay a lot of care about it. On the other hand, any time chest cough shows up, often followed with green or yellow-colored mucus, it usually means that this disease has advanced. In addition there are some other signs or symptoms that appear in the beginning: physical weakness, short breath, fever, drippy nose, a sore throat. Because of the actual similarity of the bronchitis signs or symptoms with all the symptoms of other diseases diagnosing of acute bronchitis is somewhat complicated.
