Is my bronchitis+3 day fever cause for concern?

Age: 26

Sex: f

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 115

Race: white

Duration of complaint: 2 weeks. One week of cold, One week of bronchitis

Location

  • Geographic: WA state
  • on body: lungs/windpipe

Any existing relevant medical issues (if any): None

Current medications: I've been taking musinex, delsym, for the past week, tylonal for the past few days, and I smoke/vape weed. I stopped smoking when I got the cold

So I got a normal head cold two weeks ago. It lasted 4 days with 3 days of heavy post nasal drip.

Then I woke up and the post nasal drip was now bronchitis. Or at least what feels like bronchitis. I've been coughing till my ribs hurt and strained muscles. It's a productive cough. There is always phlem ranging from cloudy-green. In the morning there is a bit of brown right when I wake up. I had slight wheezing that would clear up after a coughing fit. I would have cold sweats at night.

The past three days the coughing and phlegm production have gone down a bit. I'm slightly short of breath. And I've had a fever of 99.9-1.81 for the last three days. Mostly around 101.2. It's not really affect by the tylonal. It comes with chills, sweats, reduced appetite and fatigue.

Should I head to the clinic tomorrow morning? Or is this just normal bronchitis?
