A member asked:

Feel like i want to eat but no appetite. this all started about 10 days ago. taking amoxicillian for bronchitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bronchitis: This is almost always a viral infection and does not respond to antibiotics. If it were one of the rare bacterial causes Amoxicillin would not be the therapy of choice. That said, both the antibiotic and the infection may both blunt your appetite by different mechanisms.
