i'm american so this may influence my comment but -- it is so fucking irritating when people casually suggest online 'taLk tO yOuR DocToR!' like yeah it's definitely exactly as trivial as you imagine, sure. not to mention, i'm surely able to candidly speak about my issues and receive an honest, no bullshit response as easily as i would've if i just posted, right? because it's that trivial of a matter? hearing a man in a coat tell me to simply drink water and do bed rest is just as helpful as someone online linking me to a youtube video on how to clear your sinuses.

This is nothing I could google. I actually did google and did not find bronchitis as an issue, but cold, influenza, and lung cancer. Google does not know how my lungs sound when I breathe.
So of course you should ask your doctor and not the internet.
I think they're trying to say that googling your symptoms is free but going to the doctor is way too cost prohibitive and might result in your paying a ton of money just to hear that you should get more sleep or take some Advil.
Ah, I see. I kind of get that. Hate to go to the doctor for a sick note, when I know I just need sleep and tea.
