I went to urgent care on Saturday and was told I have bronchitis and was given a breathing treatment there and was prescribed a 5 day antibiotic and steriods and in inhailer. I just finished all my med's this morning and I am still wheezing (not as bad bud still noticable) and coughing up yellow phlegm. Should I go back to urgent care or just wait it out?
You had given correct treatment for bronchitis ....
But here you have to consult physician as follow up case ....
Your auscultation should be done ...If rhonchi heard then course of bronchodilator needs to be given .....
Cough will usually resolved with time ... If fever is present chest x ray done to rule out whether any consolidation present or not .... Sputum examination also useful ... If sputum showing fungal hyphae then antifungal drug needed....
If still infection not under control then another suitable antibiotic course needed.
Consult physician or pulmonologist for examination...
Take care
