 [ Symptoms ] is levoquin for viral bronchitis  i just left the hospital being diagnosed with viral bronchitis i see on levoquin is not for viral concerned [ Disease ] 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
