my mom was diagnosed with bronchitis age 76 3 days ago we took her to ER she is on medicine for it however she is weak no appetite coughing very wet trouble with breathing ( very rapid) she sounds the same after 3 days she sleeps a lot could it be pneumonia too?
It could be worsening of bronchitis or pneumonia anything, but if breathing trouble not subsiding for 3 days,u should hospitalize her. & the other thing that she remains sleepy ,could be a dangerous sign too, as of carbon dioxide retension. Just again consult your chest physician & get indoor treatment if he advices.
