Question 1

ok so a month ago i had influenza and bronchitis, 4 weeks later i got it again and got antibiotics but still wheezing should i go back?

Accepted Answer

Let's go back: So initially you had what was deemed viral infection and bronchitis, then got bronchitis treated with antibiotics. Now you have wheezing. This is likely from airway inflammation and increased goblet cells and secretion and now wheezing. Go back to your doctor and you should be treated for this inflammation and wheezing and help with expectoration.
