Is It Okay To Fly While Taking Bronchitis Medicine?
I was diagnosed with bronchitis today and started a 5 day round of predinosine. I'm supposed to fly to Italy (from memphis TN) on Sunday. Will it be okay for me to fly? I also have a fever I cannot seem to break. I'm assuming because of the infection with the bronchitis.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The fever could definitely be as a result of your infection. You can consider the use of antipyretics such as aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen to help reduce your temperature.
In terms of flying, you should be able to fly. If you are experiencing any symptoms of shortness of breath due to the infection, you may want to speak to your doctor prior to your trip.
I hope this helps
