if im told i have bronchitus and it hasnt gotten better with the antibiotics should i be worried? ive been coughing up flem and really tierd all the time cant focus and just an over all feeling of being weak and wore out. could there be more going on?.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Bronchitis needs inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for complete recovery. Only antibiotics won't help in bronchitis. Since you are not taking inhaled treatment you are not improving. So better to consult pulmonologist and start inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and ICS (Budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
