Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis And Severe Thirst
I have had bronchitis and now I'm having severe thirst and dry mouth. I'm also very tired and can't seem to get enough sleep. I'm dizzy a lot and I'm having trouble with my stomach. It's cramping and having diarrhea. The doctor had given me azithromycen but i finished it about 4 days ago. Is this from the antibiotics or from the bronchitis? The severe thirst and bad taste in my mouth are my biggest complaints. Everything tastes bad.

Hi thanks for asking question.
The azithromycin drug can lead to dizziness, diarrhea , bad taste in mouth , vomiting etc as side effect.so you have these symptoms because of azithro.
With finishing course of azithromycin now you will recover from these side effect.For vomiting you can take domperidone.
As far as bronchitis is concerned you have to do your chest x ray.CBC also helpful.
The prophylactic antibiotic may need for bronchitis acute case.
If chronic case of bronchitis then such obstructive disease has to be ruled out by pulmonary function test.And accordingly it is treated.
Meanwhile avoid smoking and don't take stress.drink more water.
For sleep induction avoid stress and take milk at night with go to sleep before 12 pm at night.Still short term use of zolpidem can be done for sleep induction.
Wish you good health
