Should the antibiotic for bronchitis be taken to complete the course?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...       I had bronchitis. And now I am better, and have a slight and occasional cough. should i still take the antibotic given to me, and completete the course? even if im better? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely finish the entire course of antibiotics given to you. It is good that you are better now. But you don't finish the antibiotics, infection might relapse and cause recurrent bronchitis. There is always chance of drug (antibiotic) resistance if you don't finish complete antibiotics.So better to finish whole antibiotic course given to you despite of improvement. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
