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.
is levoquin for viral bronchitis? . i just left the hospital being diagnosed with viral bronchitis. i see on levoquin is not for viral? concerned
