Do you wear a mask if you have a cough? I don't and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Wearing a mask could in a place where it's not a cultural norm be interpreted as indicative of a far worse condition than simple bronchitis. Someone wearing a mask could make people more uncomfortable than someone simply coughing occasionally and properly covering their mouth.
