Is The Creaking Sound While Breathing Is Normal Having Diagnosed With Bronchitis And Taking Levaquin Has Not Helped?

I went to urgent care about 6 days ago and was diagnosed with bronchitis and prescribed a weeks dose of levaquin. In the proceeding days I got worse with a high fever, that finally broke but now my breathing is worse and my lungs make a creaking noise when I breathe. (Mouth or nose) I have taken my fast acting inhaler ( I have asthma) two puffs two times a day and it is still not helping. Is the creaking normal?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your problem, the Levoquin mainly given for the Malaria and this wont help you in your respiratory problem, the sound you are hearing is due to the congestion of bronchus with mucus it get stuck to the inner wall of bronchus and producing quink quink sound, the best way to treat this have "Levocetrizine with Montelukast twice in day this will give good result even if does not come around then steroid is the only option remained, (If no infection is there) "Prednisolone 20 mg three times in day in taper dose, reduce the dose every after three days with 10 mg till you reach on single dose for three days, have nice day.
