Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to see that you have a bronchitis infection and on antibiotics. The cough and congestion may last 1-2 weeks even after taking antibiotics. Your bypass surgery should not interfere or impact your recovery. After you get well I recommend that you make use to get your flu vaccine and be up to date on your other pneumonia vaccines.
For the fever and aches you can use tylenol or aspirin.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
