"Hello Dr.
I suffering from bronchitis disease.
doctor prescribed me medicines like,SULBATOMOL,CLARITHROMYCIN,ERYTHROMYCIN ETC.
IS IT USEFUL TO USE SUCH ANTIBIOTICS.
is there any altrenative treatment."

Answer
No these are all the right treatments. Especially if the bronchitis is chronic. If it does not go away within a month and last more than 3 months, you want to get a pulmonary function test to see if you are developing emphysema. go to american lung association.org click on diseases, bronchitis. feel free to email again karel
