Can Asthmatic Bronchitis Be Cured In A Place Where There Is Thin Air?
Hi, I ve had asthmatic bronchitis for the past 3 weeks now. I m on a steroid pack, antibiotics, and an inhaler. I ve gotten noticeably better in just the past 2 days I ve been taking them, but would it be safe for me to fly to a state where the air is thinner?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can safely travel. You are responding to your medication and will likely continue to improve once you continue your medication.
The altered environment should not affect your infection response.
I hope this helps
