text: i have had broncitis now for...? about a week and a half and i've been on 3 different anti-biotics to try and clear this up but they are not working. i also have severe asthma along with it. i also have copd and it's just hard for me to breathe and my chest hurts really bad all the time day and night. my question is this, what should i do about it. i'm reallt tired of getting these antibiotics that don't work but i'm really afraid that i'm going to end up end the hospital. please help. any advice would be very helpful. i have chronic bronchitis, for years, and i know how you feel. i used to take tons of antibiotic with no help. until.... a doctor has put me on a shot 50/50 of linkasin & depamethrol. it has saved my life. i also have a inhaler that helps tremendous. i drink hot tea or coffee when the coughing is so bad that i thought i would die, and it eases the coughing. but the shot is the trick, ask your doctor about it.if he won't do it, find a doctor that will., because it will save your life. if you smoke, try to cut back or quit, ok? i have cut back so much and feel so much better. so good luck!
