Overview
There is no need for medical therapy in most of acute bronchitis patients; reassurance and symptomatic therapy are usually sufficient. Antibiotics should not be prescribed routinely for patients with acute bronchitis[1][2][3][4][5]
Medical Therapy
Majority of patients may benefit from NSAIDs, such as aspirin or acetaminophen, to relieve constitutional symptoms and albuterol if the cough is disruptive.[3]
Medications
- Albuterol: alleviation of wheezing and symptoms of airway obstruction
- Antitussives: codeine or dextromethorphan for [3]
- NSAIDs: alleviation of constitutional symptoms, such as myalgia and fever
The major concern is about prescribing antibiotics for acute bronchitis, current consensus in this regard, recommends DO NOT prescribe antibiotics unless there is strong evidence of bacterial infection especially in comorbid conditions such as:chronic heart or lung diseases, immunocompromised or neuromuscular diseases[1][2][3][4][5].
