Hello doctor! I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis by the doctor, prescribed oral medication. But every time I take the medicine, about 30 minutes later, I have difficulty breathing for a few hours. The doctor asked me what should I do now? Please guide me doctor. Thank you!

Hello! Usually, when treating acute bronchitis, your doctor will prescribe you antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and bronchodilators (if you have bronchospasm). If you have trouble breathing after taking the medicine, it may be due to some of the side effects of the medicine, or sometimes you are too worried, it may also be because your bronchitis has not improved.
You should contact your doctor directly to ask about the medicines you are using or you can book an appointment at a respiratory specialist at the hospitals of the Vinmec health system. Good health!
Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
Master, Doctor Tong Van Hoan - Emergency Resuscitation Doctor - Emergency Resuscitation Department - Vinmec Danang International Hospital
