While working at a day care center, Joanne comes down with bronchitis. Her condition escalates and becomes more severe as time goes by. Find out what she was diagnosed with and what medication helped her and what didn't.

Hi. My name is Joanne, from Edison, New Jersey, and I have asthmatic bronchitis.



The past few years, I've been working at a daycare center. The kids over there are small, usually coughing, sneezing in your faces. They're too small to know, you know, to cover up their faces. And I've actually gotten a few cases of severe bronchitis throughout the years.



As I said, I've been pretty healthy, but it got to the point where it was pretty bad, so I had to go to the doctors. They prescribed me some inhalers like Proventil, and Advair. So I took that for a few times, but unfortunately, it kept on coming back.



And about the fourth time it came back, I came down with asthmatic bronchitis, which I was pretty upset about. I used to be into strenuous sports; running, soccer, and it's gotten a lot harder to do those things that I used to enjoy.



If I knew somebody with the symptoms that I had, or asthmatic bronchitis, I would suggest them to go to the doctor, get themselves checked out, possibly get a chest X-ray, and to take care of yourself in general.
