Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (pulmonary function test).
As PFT is must to diagnose bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of it.
And treatment for bronchitis is entirely based on severity.
So get done PFT.
And levofloxacin is totally different then penicillin. So no need to worry much.
I think,in addition to levofloxacin,you will require antihistamines, anti inflammatory, inhaled bronchodilators etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
