A member asked:
My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with bronchitis. she also has asthma. she was prescribed z pak but wants to take something for nasal congestion. what would be safe for her to take with the z pak? (she had also taken tessalon for 3 days.?

Most bronchitis infections are caused by viral infection. The z pak is a good broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial bronchitis. Her nasal congestion may be treated w nasal saline and a humidifier. Avoid cough suppressants, especially given her asthma. Follow her asthma plan which may require adjustment, if there is shortness of breath or wheezing, for example. Please follow up.
