Suggest Treatment For Having Symptoms Of Acute Bronchitis

Hi, I have a bad cough and all the symptoms that I may have acute bronchitis, but I was not sick prior to the coughing, which at first was dry and after 1 week of cold medicine, is now producing mucus. I eat cough drops and drink fluids, but I noticed 2 patches of white on both my tonsils. Though my throat does not hurt nor are my glands swollen. Any suggestions? I have noticed that even when I am not sick, one tonsil seems to stay with a small white patch.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have acute bronchitis ...so treat it symptomatically and by antibiotic...

Amoxycillin or levoflox like antibiotic needed for 5 days...
If wet cough not easily expelled then ambroxol like expectorant needed....
Drink more water...
Avoid smoking and ice cream like irritants.
Dust exposure and pollutants exposure less....

If congestive symptoms more antihistaminic drug like benadryl given....

Following can be cause for white patch...on tonsil .....
-tonsil stone by food particle , mucus and bacteria
-chronic tonsilitis
-oral thrush for which antifungal drug needs
-strepto throat infection ....

If needed swab taken and culture done...

Daily salt water gargle will be helpful....

Take care.....
