Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Bronchitis
bacterial bronchitis
Im a 30 yr old female. I was recently seen at the ER and had two bags of fluids ,morphi.e and xrays for what I was told was bacterial bronchitis and was given a Zpack to take. Im on my 4th pill and I feel im getting worse. The cough is bad, im coughing up dark green and yellow mucus. I have a major headache that wont go away. Im also running a fever off amd on... Could this be something else or have turned into something worse?

thanks for asking your question
i completely understand your problem
in my opinion you are suffering from lower resp tract infection.
green sputum is mostly seen in cases of pseudomonal infections so specific drugs should be given.
antipseudomonal antibiotics like floroquinolones should be given.
to fix the diagnosis of pseudomonal infection u need to consult a pulmonologist who will request for a sputum pyogenic culture and senstivity ,which will tell in detail about the causitive organism. and accordingly drugs can be prescribed by the pulmonologist
thanks /regards
