A member asked:
I hate taking antibiotics because it typically flares up my ibs but found out i need to for a bout w bronchitis. is it really necessary?

IBS: If the antibiotic helps control bronchitis please keep taking it until you are over the bronchitis. Should not take long and should not happen often. Wish you well.
