bronchitis

How long does it last in your system? i know i just started taking the meds yesterday for it, but man I wish it was gone already so i can go back to work.

Re: bronchitis

Once I start taking meds...I'm feeling better in a couple of days, but it would linger for a couple weeks.

Dh gets it pretty bad, he can have his for 2 weeks

Re: bronchitis

I ended up with bronchitis before Christmas. I went on meds for a few days. I felt better by Christmas Eve - Christmas Day - I felt terrible. Ended up relapsing and going back to the DR the Thursday before New Years. He put me on more meds.

I felt better by New Years. I relapsed again and ended up with bronchitis again the week after new years.

The DR told me sometimes it just gets so deep into your lungs its hard to get out. The last time, he finally gave me steroids to take orally along with a steroid inhaler. That did the trick.

I hope you feel better. I know the feeling all too well what you are going thru!

Re: bronchitis

I had it for about a week. It was horrible. Im sorry you have it, but, Im so glad you went to the dr. early on. I waited and mine almost went into pnemonia because I thought it was just a cold too. Feel Better!!!!!

Re: bronchitis

Thanks ladies, the doctors have me on allegra,zpak, and a inhaler, All i am doing today is being lazy and laying around in bed and trying to get some rest Dh called before saying he was going to come home from work to bring me lunch and that he got pulled over by a cop for going through a redlight,But he did not get a ticket because the cop knew my sister he is very lucky and i told him next time stop at the red trafficlight...Dh never does this but he got caught this time. you know my bosses are probably cursing me out because i am going to be out for almost a week i go back to work on friday.again thank you.

Re: bronchitis

you will feel better in a few days, but the cough lingers for a week or more.
