Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
An urgent care physician two days ago analysed my symptoms as bronchitis, and prescribed an anti-biotic medication. A call from their office today said that the x-ray indicates pneumonia. I m waiting for a follow-up call. Meanwhile -- would treatment be different for pneumonia than for bronchitis?
Hi! Pneumonia is more bad situations that bronchitis.Bronchitis does it meant that under inflamations are only bronchies(airway of lung) ,and in pneumonia under inflammmations is a part of lung ..so is a more difficult situations that need more medication ,antibiotics and more ..depends by the x-ray . Regard to you!
