Hello, Kieta! How are you?

It can be prescribed to treat it, if your doctors thinks the bronchitis is due to a bacterial infection, it is a broad spectrum antibiotic that can be used to treat many types of infections.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

The dosage can be dependent upon severity.

What were you prescribed in the past?
