Brief Answer:
Kissing

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are currently taking a z-pack for bronchitis and you are wondering when can you resume kissing. I would say that after 2 days of the medication it would be safe to engage in kissing again. The bacteria will have been reduced and less likely to transmit the infection at that time.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
