Suggest Medicine For Bronchitis And Boarder Pneumonia

My husband has been to the doctor three time in the last week, at the second one they did chest x-ray and the lungs were cloudy. They said bronchitis and boarder pneumonia, but the medication they gave him does not seem to be helping and he is having difficulty breathing. What are your feelings on this.

HI

Welcome to HCM

I think there has been some spelling mistake . There is nothing like Boarder Pneumonia , I think it's Broncho-pneumonia .

Treatment for pneumonia involves Antibiotics . The choice of Antibiotics is based on Sputum or Blood Culture Sensitivity report .
I want to know what Antibiotic was prescribed for him and what was the culture report ?
For Bronchitis he needs a Broncho dilator medication especially Inhaler medication . Kindly let me know what medications he is on so that I can review and advise you further .
I find this answer helpful
