Dr. Krishna Kumar answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Bronchitis: I understand your desire to get relief from Bronchitis possibly due to symptoms of cough, sputum , chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or fever which have been uncomfortable. Do not take Lexapro (escitalopram) as it is NOT for Bronchitis. As Z Pak has not helped at this time, please go to Urgent Care. Your Health is Precious!
