How Can Bronchitis And Sinusitis Be Treated?
I was diagnosed with bronchitis & a sinus infection 2 weeks ago. All of this started 7 weeks ago. My domestic partner & my co-worker got the same thing about a week later. All 3 of us have been to each a different doctor, within a few days of each other, & given antibiotics- amoxicillin, azithromycin, prednisone, albuterol inhaler. All of us seemed to get better for a week or so. But, now we all feel like we are getting it again. Chest congestion, coughing, blocked sinuses, draining a lot, a lot of thick yellow stuff. None of us normally NEVER get sick or colds. Why can t we get rid of this?

First of all, antibiotics should be avoided in these circumstances as in most cases the do not have a bacterial origin but rather are caused by virus and eventually are exacerbated by an allergic component. So you all need symptomatic medications such as antihistamine medications and maybe topic corticosteroids
