Told i had bronchitis was given z pack and prednisone, 2 weeks later condition worse icluding gasping for air. given another z pack and told same thing?

? walking pneumonia: Chronic cough can be lated to bronchitis. Most bronchitis is viral in origin and does not respond to antibiotics.Another issue is walking pneumonia or mycoplasma pneumonia which can occur by itself or often with reactive airway dis. Or asthma. Z pack sometimes works, but some strains resistant. Long period of treatment (4 wks) with Erythromycin in my experience works better.Consult dr poss x-ray.
