Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis And Sinus Infection

I was diagnosed with Bronchitus, a double ear infection and sinus infection on the 17th of this month. I had to go back to the doctor for different meds and a nebulizer treatment Friday the 20th and back to another doc on Monday the 23. I have been on a z-pack, steroids, cough syrup with codeine and have had an at home nebulizer for 2 days and am currently taking levaquin. Today I am exhausted and having crazy hot flashes with sweats followed closely by extreme cold. Am I going insane? what can I do to fix this? I m afraid to go back to the doctor, because I am never sick and I am worried they are going to think I am just whinning.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Get a chest x ray done, if it is normal, no need to worry for lung infection.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
