<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.How long can bronchitis last. I am presently on Z pack and a breathing spray. My last antibiotic will be today. It has been two weeks now and I have trouble sleeping because of the wheezing and coughing. I get this at least two times a year. I have had pneumonia twice in the last five years. Should I insist on a chest x-ray. I also sweat a lot. Almost like hot flashes. But I know it is not that I am 74 years old.  <response>: Welcome to Chat Doctor. You have to go for investigations like CBC, FBS,PUBS, X-ray chest to confirm the diagnosis and better line of treatment. You have to continue antibiotic if coughing is with yellow expectoration. Amoxyclavulinic-625 is more effective. Continue oral bronchodilator and levocetrizine. You can use rota caps containing micronized dose of steroid and bronchodilator. Keep in touch with your doctor.
