What Are The Symptoms Of Bronchitis?

Hi, About 4 weeks ago I had a slight cough, running/stuffy nose and slight fever for a few hours. Typical cold symptoms for me but I then lost my voice; well I could talk but I had to whisper. All other symptoms were gone by this point. That last for about 5 days then it was gone. 2 weeks passed and last Friday I lost my voice again (same thing as above re whispering). No cold symptoms until yesterday; sore throat, yellow mucus and tons of coughing. Now my chest hurts and throat is still sore. Coughing is still happening but not as bad as the morning. Is this bronchitis? No fever this time, as of yet. No headache or chills.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having upper Respiratory tract infection ( URTI ).
In bronchitis inflammation of bronchi cause edema in the walls. This causes narrowing of the lumen and causes bronchospasm and wheezing (whistling sound).
Thisis the characteristic feature of bronchitis. So I don't think it is bronchitis, you must be having URTI mostly pharyngitis.
But better to consult doctor and get done throat and respiratory examination.
