sounds like youve had a rough time this past month.
Infections like bronchitus are viruses which are spread via droplets, air bourne transmission. These types of viruses are not able to be treated by antibiotics (abs) as only bacteria based infections are able to be treated via abs. Do you have a job that requires close contact with lots of people, expecially those who are unwell. At times our immune system can become low (people who are undergoing chemo or are on immunodepressents are highly suceptable to infections) is there any particular symtoms that have presented consistently over the past month eg cough, fatigue? For me personally I don't like taking ab's unless absoloutley necessary because in my opinion I become more suceptable to other infections expecially with the whole multiple resistent bugs (mrsa) that are developing from the over consumption of ab's.
