[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sitting here coughing up globs of green gunk. When I breathe, I wheeze. My ears and sinueses are clogged. Yes, I need a antibiotic. Yesterday was a waste of time and money. The person at CVS started preparing tests even before he examined me. Then he wouldn't give me anything at all. He didn't understand why I was angry. I am going to my doctor today.l I will get plenty of meds to wipe this out, however I've lost a day of work--something I was trying to avoid. Will never go to any minute clinic again and will post about this on yelp.[/quote]

OP, it sounds like you have bronchitis...which doesn't respond to antibiotics.[/quote]

Wrong. Antibiotics are given for bronchitis to reduce the chance of a secondary infection.  [/quote]

Very, very, old think.  Antibiotics are not given in the absence of an acute infection.[/quote]

In the last month I went to a minute clinic thinking I had bronchitis, was told to up vitamin c and use an antihistamine for comfort.  A week later, I went to my GP with chest pain and no improvement in symptoms.  Thinking the minute clinic ruled out bronchitis, I began to think I had developed penumonia.  GP said bronchitis, prescribed me a z pack and the chest pain was gone within a day.  Everything was stuck in my bronchial tubes and I wasn't coughing up any sign of infection, 10 days later I was fine.  Just my experience.  BTW, it was tenlytown CVS I went to and while I was surprised she didn't prescribe me an anyibiotic, I wasn't unhappy with her advice especially since I didn't have any signs of an infection.[/quote]
