Thanks for accepting the question. Treated for acute bronchitis three months ago with cefdinir for two weeks. Unfortunately developed c diff at the end of two weeks. Treatment for c diff was flagyl for two weeks and was successful. No relapse. Recently acquired acute bronchitis in another state and developed fever of 102.9. Treated quickly at Emergency Room. X rayed for pneumonia. Negative. Blood test taken. Nostrils swabbed. Finding was virus caused acute bronchitis. Prescribed decongestant, steroid inhaler, and cough syrup. No antibiotic was prescribed with reasons given. Advised to see my regular doctor in four days. Visited my doctor within 7 days from first becoming ill and five days from emergency room visit. He took another X-ray. Thankfully, no pneumonia. He prescribed the antibiotic augmentin and prednisone. I told him I was reluctant to take the antibiotic after the c diff episode. He said wait one day and see if I am improving. I am improving, albeit slowly, just using prednisone and Mucinex. I have not developed a fever above 98.9. Not asking for an official opinion - just thoughts. Thanks very much for your time.
