I've got bronchitis, was in urgencias on a ventilator and had a chest xray and strong antibios, but I have lots of mucus ie runny nose and feels like a cold, but as I've had this for 12 days it can't be, can it. What can I take for it, am back to see medico on wednesday for the chest. Just want to shake it off.

12 days of supportive treatment does sound a long time for bacterial bronchitis not to improve and perhaps we are dealing with an allergic problem or more like COPD and only a Respiratory Physician with further tests, can sort that one out.
You mention runny nose and not cough, so i would presume that your nasal problems predominate.In Spain there is a nasal spray which is a decongestant called Respibien...........give it a go.
if your chest and wheezing is the main problem then you will need a steroid inhaler.
