Is there any risk of catching her bronchitis if she still has a little cough?

26-year-old woman2 years ago

Hello! My niece has had bronchitis for 11 days, has been on antibiotics for 9 days and I am supposed to see her in 3 days. I wanted to know, is there any risk that I could catch her bronchitis if she still has a little cough?

Hello, ma'am,

If she has been receiving antibiotics for 9 days, there is little chance that the bronchitis is contagious.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
