I have been diagnosed with Bronchitis, started on amoxicillan, and cough syrup. It got worse, I I got a fever and very lethargic, went to dr who sent me to er with possible pneumonia. Xray said no pneumonia, sent me home with stronger antibiotics. Still not feeling well running a low grade fever. 41 years old with rheumatoid arthritis. Im severely plugged up and my Tylenol severe OTC meds are NOT working at all for the congestion. I still have a low grade fever, been out of work for seven days. Im not feeling better what do I do?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). It must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. Main treatment of bronchitis is inhaled treatment So you may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
