A member asked:
Is it true that broncitis can turn i to pneumonia if left untreated. i get broncitis but domt get it treated just rest. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No antibiotics: The current recommendations for treating acute bronchitis include not prescribing antibiotics in most cases. Bronchodilators and steroids (oral or inhaled) can open up the airways to improve breathing and facilitate the clearing of secretions. Keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
