Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination. If x ray is normal but still fever is not settling . We need to look for other causes. Also you will need to undergo a pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis and to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
