Overview

During a physical examination, acute bronchitis may present through signs such as prolonged expiration and wheezing, fever, and decreased intensity of breath sounds.

Physical Examination

A physical examination will often reveal:

  • Decreased intensity of breath sounds
  • Wheezing (rhonchi)
  • Prolonged expiration
  • Fever

Most doctors rely on the presence of a persistent dry or wet cough as evidence of bronchitis.
