Can She Take Clarithromycin To Prevent Bronchitis?

I have bronchitis and my fiancee has been sleeping next to me and kissing me while I had symptoms and prior to antibiotic use. If she uses antibiotics such as clarithromycin 500mg during the potential incubation period will it prevent her from becoming sick.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It is not recommended to start any antibiotic before the contact with infection.
It is always better for her to avoid contact during the acute phase of your infection.
She can take precautions like avoiding consumption of cold items, salt water gargling twice daily, taking nasal and throat decongestant medications during this period to minimise her from contacting with infection.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
