Patient discussion about grippy.

Q. Do I have Bronchitis? I had a cold and since then I have a severe cough which I can't seem to get rid of. Is this bronchitis? Does it need to be treated or will it go away by itself?

A. Bronchitis most commonly occurs after an upper respiratory infection such as the common cold or a sinus infection. You may see symptoms such as fever with chills, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and sore throat. Most cases of bronchitis clear up on their own, however if you have complications, go see your doctor. If the cough is very severe and interrupts your sleep, if you are wheezing or have a fever for longer than a few days, then you should see your Doctor.

Q. Do Antibiotics cure a cold? I have a cold and a runny nose, should I take Antibiotics?

A. Taking antbiotics when you only have a cold can harm your chances of the effectiveness of using antibiotics when you have a severe problem. Your body can build up an immunity to antibiotics so it is only recommended to take them when your immune system can't fight off the infections. Most of the time, a cold just needs to run it's course , so drinking plenty of fluids and resting can allow your body to rejuvinate and fight the cold. To help prevent colds and viruses, look for products that help to maintain a good immune system like vitamin C. Aloe juice is another good product for your immune system. When we deal with stress and don't get enough rest, we cause havoc on our immune system, so prevention can be the best thing to do. Wishing you well!
