How Long Do Runny Nose And Chest Congestion Take To Resolve?
Yes I had a runny nose and a chesty cold for 3 weeks and wheezing. No fever. My doctor said its bronchitis. I feel very tired too. I m taking the 2nd course of antibiotics Ibilex 500 3 times a day and I was taking a puffer 2 doses twice a day. The puffer is Symbicort turbuhaler 200 mcg/6mcg 120d 1. My question is. Why am I taking so long to get better.

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
According to your complain you have problem of bronchitis and you are taking antibiotics course.
After taking this antibiotics still you have no relief than do a sputum culture test. After culture start proper antibiotics ....
Steroid can add in severe inflammation case.
Chest X ray can done for further diagnosis.
Consent a pulmonologist for further treatment.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you.
