Can Taking Codeine And Antibiotics Help Treat Bronchitis?
Hi I have bronchitis and I m on codeine and antibiotics. Every time i try to eat (I have no appetite) i vomit it straight back up, leaving me feeling like im about to pass out. I also completely lost hearing although I ve regained a bit now the constant ringing will not stop. Should I go back to the doctor? i dont know what to do

Hello
Thanks for your query.
If you have bronchitis, codeine intake will actually worsen your disease rather than giving you a bit relief. You need to consult a pulmonologist soon and go for inhalation therapy with optimum drugs and dosages. Only that therapy will give you relief and alleviate your symptoms and your disease will be cured. From your history it is obvious that along with bronchitis you also have some GERD symptoms for which you need to take proton pump inhibitors.
Thank you.
