Content: Common side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. Antihistamines
You can take antihistamines to reduce the allergic reaction you may experience from allergic bronchitis. These drugs prevent histamine, a chemical released in your body when it detects a harmful substance, from affecting the cells in your body. Popular antihistamine drugs include Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Claritin (loratadine). If you have acute bronchitis, you should avoid taking antihistamines as they can dry up secretions and make your cough worse. Antibiotics
Antibiotics treat infections by killing the bacteria that caused them. Occasionally, antibiotics are prescribed to treat chronic bronchitis exacerbations caused by bacterial infections. Doxycycline and amoxicillin are a couple examples of antibiotics used to treat bronchitis. Macrolide antibiotics such as azithromycin are used for less common cases of bronchitis caused by pertussis (whooping cough). Side effects of antibiotics may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or mild skin rash.
