What Shots Are Given For Bronchitis?
I got 2 shots in the butt for bronchitis today. This is the first time in my life for this condition. I know 1 shot was a steroid but I m not sure what the other one was.. First, I have no clue if this is chronic or acute and second what are the shots. I m alergic to penicellian and not sure if thats why? I quit smoking Nov. of 2009 and turning 40 this year, are my lungs not cleared out by now and is this a cause from my smoking?

Hello,
If that was an acute condition, that probably would be an anti allergic and steroid. The primary cause of chronic bronchitis is smoking, although exposure to air pollution, dust, or chemical fumes can also contribute. Treatment usually involves corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and avoiding respiratory irritants.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
