I'm really worried about my husband. He's been diagnosed with acute bronchitis, but he's still running a fever after four days of taking the prescribed medication. The doctor gave him Acebrophyline, acetylcysteine, Cefixime, montelukast, levocetrizine, and paracetamol. I'm confused though, is acute bronchitis usually caused by a virus or bacteria? Could there be an issue with these medicines not working, or should we be concerned about something else?

I've been having trouble breathing for the last few months, and the mucus is really thick and white. After I eat, it gets a bit worse, almost like my chest feels heavy. I've already done a chest X-ray and a complete blood test, and everything came out normal. With the whole COVID situation, I can't really go to a hospital right now. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I've been dealing with a persistent cough and lots of phlegm for the past three weeks. The phlegm is really thick and sticky, and its usually yellow or green. Ive tried antibiotics, cough medicine, drinking more water, and several home remedies I found online, but nothing seems to completely clear it up. My cough is mostly dry and happens a lot in the mornings and at night, but Im still dealing with so much sticky phlegm. Do you think this might be a viral or bacterial infection? Any advice would be really helpful.
