AAHH! I have had bronchitis for a week and a half now and nothing is getting rid of it! On top of that I have a sinus infection, so I am completely miserable. I have done everything I can think of, including going to the dumb doctor that took forever and a die to find out what I had. He gave me antibiotics and they are not working! I have tried humidifiors, non-stop medicine, rest, blah blah blah. It is still here! How can I get rid of it before my nine month old gets it too?? Please help! Thanks!

I am so sorry to hear this dear. I had it 3 times, and it is awful. Call the doctor, and see if you need a different antibiotic. You need to drink a lot of liquids. There isn't anything else that you can do, as to what you said you are doing. The cough can linger for a very long time. Make sure to finish all the bottle of the anti biotics though. I do hope that you will be feeling better soon, and that the Lord will keep your child safe from getting it. Blessings.

The cough takes awhile. I hope you both will be well in no time. Thank you for the best response.

Sorry it has taken a while for me to respond, I have had a lot going on. Thank you so much for the advice. I did all those things and am finally starting to get over it. Still got the cough though!

What kind of meds did the doctor give you? If they aren't working you need to go back. It could turn into walking pnemonia. Sometimes it does take awhile for the meds to kick in but if it doesn't let up soon I would go back, maybe to another doctor.

It's been over a week. He put me on antibiotics and an inhaler. I took Airborne today and it was like instant relief!! Have you ever tried it? I definately reccomend it!!

Wow, I hate you are having to go through that. I had it really bad when I was younger and still have awful coughs every time I get sick. I really hope someone will be able to help you out. The antibotics (inhaler) worked for me.

I have the inhaler too, it isn't helping at all. Thanks though!
