This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread. A bacteria is its own living cell and multiplies and spreads on its own and is easier to destroy in that process.
Avatar m tn The first thing you should do is to discuss this question with your doctor and/or a lung specialist (Pulmonologist) so that your total health status can be taken into account and, perhaps, other risk factors revealed.
