Alright, perhaps I'm being insensitive.
I've never personally had bronchitis, but
my mother does right now. It causes her
such severe pain (I don't know where from)
that she makes this high-pitched whining
noise that just cuts through me like nails
on a chalkboard. It's inhuman, like an
animal or a baby in pain.
My issue is that I don't know if it's
really that bad, or if she's being a wuss
about it... has anyone else had acute
bronchitis and can say firsthand how
painful it is? Because you'd have to be
drilling holes into my chest and skull to
make me sound like that. I don't even make
noises like that when I have migraines so
bad I vomit, or have menstrual cramps so
bad I vomit.
Secondly, she waited three freaking days
before going to a doctor. If it had been
me or my brother, we'd have been dragged
there on day 2. I just don't understand
why people let themselves get this bad.
She probably wouldn't be in this much
discomfort if she'd gotten it taken care
of sooner.

Well that's kinda stupid if the pain was
that bad and she didn't go to the doctor.
I mean if her chest hurt that bad, she
would have the breath to cry about it.
Crying would hurt like well, a word I
won't use on this forum. So yeah, she's a
wuss because the pain was obviously not
bad enough to shut her up.
I had really bad bronchitis when I was
little, and I can assure you that it's a
really terrible thing to have. I think we
had it for a week before my mom finally
took us in. Me and my three sisters had
it. None of us we much into talking at
all, or eating, or sleeping, and we just
sat there in the hot July heat and bore
the miserable pain. There's nothing quite
like it....

yes chronic bronchitis hurts badly if goes
untreated. how ever if hurt that bad then
she must also have pleurisy which you can
have both at same time.
yes bronchitis can hurt terible. sometime
nothing canhelp the pain but if she keeps
hurthing that bad then take her to the er.
something else very well could be going on
like pneumonia or etc.
It takes steroids for me by IV to get it
under control along with a strong strength
of antibitics by IV and pain medications
like IBUPROVEN.
It is nothing to get mad at your mom over.
I have had it so much that I do not always
go to the doctor. I lay in bed and hide it
It is hard to deal with at times.
