Q: bronchitis

I caught a virus last month that turned into bronchitis; it has been six weeks now and I still have cough, with mucus.  could this have developed into an allergy or asthma?

It's possible this could be the first time your asthma was triggered, although it's hard to tell without seeing you in person.  What I would recommend is you find a good asthma doctor so he can do a series of testings and question asking to determine if you have asthma.  Click here to learn how to diagnose asthma.  Good luck.
