Can Bronchitis Cause Any Risk During Air Travel?
my daughter was diagnosed with a slight case of bronchitis today. She has been given antibiotics and nebulizer treatments. We are supposed to fly from Texas to Florida this Saturday morning. The doctor said she should be fine, but others are concerned. Is this safe for her?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, she can fly without fear.
Bronchitis is mostly caused by viral infection. And most of the viral infections are usually self limiting.
So if she is improving in symptoms like less cough, less fever, less wheezing etc then she is in recovery phase of bronchitis.
So she can definitely fly without fear.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
