[|Human|] I have had a cough for almost two weeks now. I noticed the chest congestion goes away after lying down and when I wake up it s gone until I have been up for 30 minutes. The congestion starts to come back and about mid day I have been getting sinus pressure and headaches. I have started to notice a tightness in my right jaw as well. Could this be a serious concern? Should I see a dr or is it just bronchitis that will go away soon? I have noticed a slight improvement in the chest congestion but the jaw pain has me worried
[|AI|]  Hi. I understand your concerns. Cough of 2 weeks is commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. Get a chest x-ray done, a normal rules out lung infection. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Treating sinusitis is also very important as that may be also the cause for cough. You will need a detailed evaluation for the same.
