 [ Symptoms ] bronchitis   taking amoxicilian i have bronchitis and i was put on amoxicillian i am just wondering if it is alright to take advil for the pain tho nothing seems to work and i am coughing like crazy and it is giving me massive headaches <negative_smiley> [ Disease ] most cases of bronchitis are viral and do not need antibiotics so this could be one reason why you are not getting better as fast as you though it is okay to take amoxicillin with ibuprofen if you have failed to get better on your doctor is treatment regime you need to go back and be re examined otherwise he will just assume you are better inform him otherwise
