Suggest Treatment For Tiredness And Coughs When Diagnosed With Acute Bronchitis
Question: I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis about 10 days ago. I am really tired and still coughing. Also had a sinus infection for which antibiotics were prescribed. Is it normal to feel so tired after 10 days?
Brief Answer:
The organism needs sometime to recover completely
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in HCM
I can understand your concern.
First i want to say that i fully agree with the treatment you have taken.It is the first choice for upper and lower airways infections.
Usually after a bronchitis or sinusitis infection even after the proper treatment the organism needs sometime to recover completely, nearly two or three weeks which depends on the severity of the situation.
During this time you should take liquids ,vitamins ,to have a rest, do not smoke and to do a healthy lifestyle.
Do not worry about the cough it will go away soon. It might last up to a month but the most important thing is to be improving.
In my opinion you should not do anything else just be careful in the post treatment peiod .
Wishes and feel free to ask me again
