A member asked:
Diagnosed w/ non-viral bronchitis. been on meds for 4 days, now fever came back. am i contagious again? why did it come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You had: Antibiotics only for 4 days?! if i understand you that could be why it came back. Even if it was longer you just might need an extended course or a change of the antibiotic. Call your prescribing doc.
