How To Treat Chronic Bronchitis?
I have chronic bronchitis. Doing so well, my pulmonologist reduced my meds. Came down with bronchitis. I've had it since June. I've taken 5 different antibiotics and they make me feel better but when the prescription runs out my bronchitis worsens again. Pulm. ordered CT scan which showed bad infection in sinus. Went to ENT who gave me new antibiotic which I took for 4 weeks. ENT did new CT scan and determined I needed surgery. That was 10 days ago - not taking antibiotics. I don't feel too bad but my coughng is worse than it has ever been. Scheduled for sinus surgery tomorrow - is that OK?

HI
Well come to HCM
Chances of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is very likely, you have not mentioned what kind of surgery you are going for, else everything seems alright, just one thing would be matter of concern and that is antibiotic this should not be taken without absolute indication, hope this information helps, take care.
