A member asked:
Is it normal to still feel so out of breath with going on 3rd day of antibiotics prescribed for my acute bronquitis and using inhaler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go back to doctor: You need to be sure that the bronchitis is not pneumonia. If you had purely bronchitis it is unlikely you needed antibiotics unless this was an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. Hope you are not smoking. Please go see your doctor and hope you are better soon. Acute bronchitis is viral 98% of the time. Unless you have been exposed to whooping cough and not vaccinated.
