Asthma/Bronchitis?


Asthma/Bronchitis?
I am currently taking 1000mg of Clarythromycin and was given Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol) as an inhaler. Have to take the antibiotic for a week. Will this be good enough to cure my asthma/bronchitis? I am really worried ....

Answer by Patricia
The Biaxin is for the bronchitis. Its an antibiotic, It should clear it up.

As for the asthma you can't cure it, only manage it. That is what the Symbicort is for. You have to take it twice a day 12 hours apart to prevent symptoms of asthma. It is NOT a rescue inhaler, PLEASE do not use it as such. Ask your doc about Albuterol for fast acting relief.

Good luck and have a nice day!

It should clear it up. What you need to do is try and relax so the meds can do their stuff to the full extent, and drink alot of fluids. Good luck!
