General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Acute bronchitis is not so serious once you complete your medication, azithromycin. Acute bronchitis is either caused by a bacteria or virus. And Azithromycin is an antibiotic to treat infection.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
