Thanks Fifi. Back in Brisbane now, I will need to go and see the local GP. In fact I use two clinics. I had a full check up about 10 days ago and doctor said all my test results ( for all STD's and other things ) were all negative. Also my kidney and liver function are good which surprises me as I was a binge drinker up till about mid-2014. Not sure if this is bronchitis but according to symptoms I think it is. I had it in China in 2012.

Well, if it is bronchitis it's not the drink you need to worry about but the fags! Very rare for a non-smoker to get it.
