A member asked:
Is bronchitis contagious after taking antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Most episodes of bronchitis are caused by viral infections, which can be very contagious and easily passed from person to person. Though frequently prescribed, antibiotics are generally not warranted for acute bronchitis and do not prevent transmission of viral particles.
