A member asked:
I was prescribed zpak, prednisone, and acetaminophen/codeine syrup for bronchitis. should this be helpful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medications: The ZPak is a good broad spectrum antibiotic and Prednisone will treat inflammation, particularly if you had wheezing on exam. The cough syrup combined with Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help with fever and cough. I usually advise using Tylenol (acetaminophen) only for fever and a cough preparation only if you need it to sleep. Most bronchial infections though are viral and not treated with antibiotics.
