Hi welcome to the health care magic

For bronchitis like upper respiratory tract infection you have been prescribed floxacin group of drug

Levofloxacin dose is to be taken for 5 days

Don't stop it just now, complete the course

If stomach pain from gastritis more than antacid like pantoprazole can be taken

Cooked oatmeal help in soothing

Avoid excess spicy foods

Drink warm water for drinking

Take care

Hope this will help you
