A member asked:
Can you die from bronchitis or will it run its course and go away without antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: In some patients, it may resolve; in others, it may require treatment (be it antibiotics, inhalers/nebulizers, or steroids); it all depends on how severe the attack is and how bad the lungs are at baseline. The best bet would be to see your doctor.
