Bronchitis — with its persistent cough, chest tightness, and exhaustion — can sideline you for a week or more. If your employer or school requires documentation, SwiftCareMD lets you get a physician-reviewed, signed note without leaving home. Complete the intake from your couch and receive your note within same-day.
Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that carries air to the lungs. It's most commonly caused by viral infection, often following a cold or the flu.
Key symptoms include a persistent, often productive cough, chest tightness or discomfort, fatigue, and sometimes a low-grade fever. Most cases resolve in 1–3 weeks, but the cough can linger for weeks after the acute illness.
For people in jobs that require physical activity, speaking, or public-facing work, bronchitis can make it medically necessary to take several days off. A physician's note confirms your absence was clinically appropriate and protects your employment record.
Complete a short intake describing your cough characteristics, chest symptoms, fever, duration, and overall functional status. No video call required.
A physician licensed in your state reviews your intake. If the symptoms are clinically consistent with bronchitis requiring rest, they issue a signed note.
Your signed note arrives by email and is ready to share immediately with your supervisor or academic advisor.
Workers in physically demanding roles, teachers, customer service professionals, and anyone experiencing bronchitis whose primary care physician can't see them quickly benefit from this service. Available across the U.S. with 24/7 live chat support.
Urgent care or a walk-in clinic visit typically runs $150–$300, involves a waiting room, and requires you to be present while symptomatic. SwiftCareMD costs $34.99 flat and is fully asynchronous.
If a note isn't clinically warranted, our money-back guarantee protects your purchase.
