I got in to see my doctor yesterday, after about ten days of this cough and feeling crummy. He listened to my breathing and said my lungs were clear (that means no pneumonia) and he'd prescribe a cough medicine and an antibiotic. I finally asked him if what I have has a name and he said, "Oh, yes, you have bronchitis."
I'd suspected that that was what I had, since this lovely affliction has visited me twice before, last in 1999.
It's nice to know that how I've been feeling has an official name; it sounds better (or worse, actually) than saying "I have a cough."
He told me that I'd be a new man in a couple of days. I'll settle for the old one.
