 [ Symptoms ] my daughter has bronchitis and is on antibiotics for it and an ear infection   is she contagious still how long  my daughter has had fever cough lack of appetite and tiredness for a week now i brought her in yesterday and the doctor diagnosed her with bronchitis and one ear looks infected we got augmentin to treat this but i am wondering if she is still contagious with bronchitis [ Disease ] there are no viruses or bacteria that only cause bronchitis any of the hundreds of respiratory organisms can do most cases nearly all of bronchitis in children i do not know your daughter is age are viral and do not require antibiotics ear infections often do not require them either but antibiotics have remained the mainstay of treatment ear infections are not contagious respiratory viruses are considered most contagious a day before you get sick and for about two days afterwards since it has been a week your daughter is not likely contagious even if she still has some residual symptoms like a cough
