What Is The Treatment For Viral Bronchitis?
Hi, THANKYOU for taking my question! I was diagnosed with Viral Croup & most likely, Viral Bronchitis last I day. Am wondering IF I am still contagious? I have a 93yr old Mother and I don t want to go near her (or others) IF I could pass it on. I am feeling better than last week but! It began a week ago with sore throat then chest and cough. Thanking you, Marilyn J Battese

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If your symptoms have improved and you no longer have a significant cough then you are no longer contagious and can come into contact with your mother.
If you still have a persistent cough then you should avoid contact till it diminishes.
I hope this helps
