What are the possible treatments for bronchitis ?
Patient: I went to the Florence family clinic about three weeks ago. She told me I had bronchitis. She gave me some cough medicine, inhaler, steroids, and a shot. One week later I went back because I still didn t feel good. She told me I had all the symptoms of walking pneumonia and two ear infections as well. She gave me stronger antibiotics that I m still taking and a shot again. She told me if I didn t feel better by Friday which was four days later I need to come back. I came back bc I still didn t feel good. She took blood to see if it was a vital infection but the results said it wasn t it. I started feeling better until four days later. I m still taking my antibiotics I have two or three days left. Right now I m tired my chest hurts, my throat hurts, my ears do a little, and my headache comes and goes. Doctor: Hello, Thanks for your query.Stop the stimulants and we all know smoking and alcohols are on top. once done good hygiene, bronchodilation, and excercise and physiotherapy with some antibiotic will get you through but it will take time and effort.Continuous medication is needed to keep the disease under control. One has to be regular in his treatment so as to prevent the acute episodes which occur in the presence of triggering factors.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care
