A member asked:
How severe does your fever have to be to need an antibiotic, if you have bronchitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: Acute or chronic bronchitis seldom causes a fever. If you have a severe bronchitis and then develop a fever, your doctor will need to evaluate you a second time to see if the bronchitis has progress to pneumonia. This can be determined in a clinical exam or in some instances may require a chest x-ray.
