Posted on Fri, 10 Jul 2015
Question: I get bronchitis annually. I think I may be getting it again. I coughed up green globs this morning, but after a steamy showe, robittusin DM and Coricidin cough & cold I'm doing a lot better. Should I just continue this treatment or do I need additional medicine?

Brief Answer:
Get done adult Pulmonary vaccination.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bronchitis is mostly due to infection. And annual occurance suggest seasonal infection.
So better to vaccinate your self with adult Pulmonary vaccines like pneumococcal and Influenza.
Influenza vaccine should be taken annually.
Pneumococcal vaccine should be taken every five yearly.
These will prevent recurrent bronchitis.
At present no need for further medicines as you are improving.
So consult doctor and discuss about these vaccines.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
