you are correct. levoquin is an antibiotic and antibiotics do not work for viruses. the diagnosis of "viral bronchitis" is usually based solely on a clinical assumption since the medical provider probably did not perform a plethora of diagnostic tests that would confirm it. in the outside chance that a viral bronchitis could progress to a secondary bacterial infection a clinician may still empirically prescribe an antibiotic. since i do not know the details of the case or the medical history i cannot comment whether this antibiotic was warranted or not. levoquin is antibacterial and is usually doesnot work in viral infections. your doctor must have prescribed antibiotics as viral infections may progress to secondary bacterial infections. your consulting physician is best person to guide you on this.
