Suggest Treatment For Recurring Bronchitis
I have bronchitis again and have been on the z-PAC. My cough is awful and now my dr is worried it might go into pneumonia. She prescribed Levofloxacin but I am afraid to take it because of the awful side effects that were printed out and attached to the bag it came in. What can I take that is safe ?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Recurrent bronchitis is mostly due to viral infection.
And treatment of bronchitis needs anti inflammatory, anti histamine drugs along with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
Also get done adult Pulmonary vaccination with pneumococcal and Influenza vaccines to prevent recurrent respiratory tract infection.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
