Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis
im 45 female 180lbs...i had bronchitis a few years ago for a long time. went to my dr and he did nothing so i went to a diff dr. she gave me an Rx for a shot. i went and got the visl and brought it to her and she gave it in my hip which was very painful for some time but i almost immediately felt better, I cant remember the name of the drug now. i think it was a steroid and started with an R. can you tell me what it may have been. I would recognize the name if i saw it.
