When I had bronchitis last year, I only had a deep chest rattle and a very bad cough, but never ran a fever. It took a long time to clear up with rest and warm fluids, but everyone's body reacts differently.
Yes, you can absolutely have bronchitis without any fever. I had a persistent hacking cough for three weeks last winter and my temp was perfectly normal. Don't wait around, just see a doctor and get it treated.
Yes! My roommate had this last month and she thought it was just a regular cold because there was no fever. It turned out to be bronchitis. Drinking warm water and using a steam inhaler helped her breathe much better.
My grandmother used to give us warm pepper milk for deep chest coughs. While that helps soothe the throat, you must consult a doctor if the cough persists, even if there is no fever at all.
I've had bronchitis twice and neither time did I run a fever. Focus on keeping your airways moist with steam inhalation three times a day and avoid cold drinks completely. If you feel any chest pain, go straight to the clinic.

Look, fever is not mandatory for bronchitis. If you have a deep, painful cough with mucus, just go to a doctor instead of guessing. A simple checkup will clear everything up.
