I mention this because I also had pneumonia this year for the first time, which I thought was bronchitis. And I know several others who had it too. I didn't take it seriously until I was laying down and heard and felt a kind of rattling in my lungs...
Standard treatment for pneumonia will also knock out bronchitis. My doctor wasn't sure even after x-rays so she treated me for pneumonia which was fortunate.
See, I had what I thought was my first bronchitis type thing this year, well, within the last year.
I had to use someone else's headset at work, shortly after that, for like 2 weeks I couldn't take a full breath without feeling like I was gasping.
There was no fever, mucus, etc, just the weird breathing thing.
That's my only experience with a bronchitis type infection afaik
