How to treat bronchitis with noisy breathing while on zithromax, albuterol inhaler and cough syrup?
Patient: I am recovering from bronchitis , took zithromax, albuterol inhaler and cough syrup. After over a week of recovery I still feel very weak and have now started to notice noisy breathing ( crackling and sometimes whining sounds) when I breath out. This is especially notable when I lay down. I am otherwise feeling better. Should I be concerned?? Doctor: hi, you may experience those symptoms as an episode of bronchitis may take upto 4 weeks to recede completely. you may continue the medication, but i suggest you to add mucolytic agent like N-Acetyl Cystene nebulisations which can help in clearing secretions. other symptoms will resolve gradually. hope this helped.
