Yes, bronchitis is typically caused by a respiratory viral infection. Your 10 year old would be contagious for as long as he or she has a fever, productive cough or sneezing. A general rule of thumb is to keep your children at least 6 feet apart when one is sick (if possible) and to encourage them to cover their cough and wash their hands frequently.
Do you always have a cough with bronchitis?
Yes, typically. Bronchitis implies inflammation of the large airways, the bronchi. This typically presents as cough and mucus production.
