Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not take antibiotics for such along period. Consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out underlying lung infection and also go for pulmonary function test (PFT) for diagnosis of bronchitis. So avoid antibiotics and visit pulmonologist.
