Antibiotics???: If you are taking antibiotics probably not contagious. Viral infections are usually contagious for 3-5 days. occasionally 1 week.

Mgt.: Most bronchitis infections are viral, and not treated with antibiotics. Use good hand washing, wear a mask around the baby until well. Avoid coughing or contact with secretions.
