A member asked:
If amoxicillin did not work for my bacterial bronchitis, is it prudent that augmentin be prescribed? would augmentin increase probability of cure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it likely won't: It is likely a virus and antibiotics do not help. Discuss with your doctor about symptomatic management. Decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and inhalers may help. Do not smoke. Worth having the discussion with you doctor.
