Why didn't my doctor prescribe me antibiotics for my bronchitis?

Bronchitis usually results from a viral infection, so antibiotics aren't effective. However, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic if he or she suspects that you have a bacterial infection (fever, green colored sputum). If you have a chronic lung disorder or if you smoke, your doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to reduce your risk of a serious, secondary infection.

The thing is, if you do take antibiotics, make sure you take the full dose and don't stop as soon as you are feeling better. That is a way that you might develop antibiotic resistant strains. In other words you must take the full dose or else some half dead bacteria will come back to life and replicate with bigger and better defenses.

Another thing, pulmonary fibrosis is not caused by having bronchitis and treating it with the antibiotics that you are taking. It can be caused by occupational pollutants, some blood pressure medications, or diseases like tuberculosis and sarcoidosis. Some things you can do to help with breathing: - Sit in the bathroom with the hot shower turned on.

The warm steam will help you open up your airways and breathe. - Or use a humidifier - Take cough medicine at night. Usually you don't want to suppress your cough during the day if you have a productive cough to get rid of irritants in your lungs.

However, it is fine if you only use it at night to help you sleep. - Next time steer clear of irritants that can cause future bronchitis such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, significant dust.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
