<s>[INST] How long can bronchitis last.  I am presently on Z pack and a breathing spray.  My last antibiotic will be today. It has been two weeks now and I have trouble sleeping because of the wheezing and  coughing.  I get this at least two times a year.  I have had pneumonia twice in the last five years.  Should I insist on a chest x-ray. I also sweat  a lot. Almost like hot flashes.  But I know it is not that I am 74 years old. [/INST] Welcome to Chat Doctor. You have to go for investigations like CBC, FBS,PUBS, X-ray chest to confirm the diagnosis and better line of treatment. You have to continue antibiotic if coughing is with yellow expectoration. Amoxy/clavulinic-625 is more effective. Continue oral bronchodilator and levocetrizine. You can use rota caps containing micronized dose of steroid and bronchodilator. Keep in touch with your doctor. </s>
