A member asked:

If a z-pack was unsuccessful in treating bronchitis, is there logic in a dr giving another one for a 2nd round? bronchial spasms, wheezing, cough..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: This does not make good sense. Most bronchitis is viral and does not respond to antibiotics. A second course will generally not do any better. Unless you had signs or symptoms that specifically suggested bacterial infection i would hold off on antibiotics and consider other agents for the wheezing and cough.
