Can I take Clindamycin for Bronchitis?

Has anyone had bronchitis here, how long did it take till you were better, and what did you take?

• I went to the doctor on Monday, and got medication for bronchitis. I think I have had it for a while. i had serious back and chest pains, it hurt to breathe and I was very weak. I used a bronchodialator when I was there and it really helped. I am taking amoxicillian, mucinex, and an inhalor, and I have started to feel a little better. I was just wondering if anyone had it, how bad they had it, what they took, and how long it took them to get better. Did you guys feel all of your strenght was gone. Did anyone get diarrhea or a sore throat while they had bronchitis?

• Answer:

  Hi, I had bronchitis last year during christmas time when I was 5 months pregnant. IT WAS SO TERRIBLE! I was so sick! I ended up going to the emergency room on christmas day because I was so sick, I hadn't slept in days, and knew it wasn't good for my baby- at all. They gave me all this medicine, but not an inhaler, I didn't take any of the medicine though, because I wasn't going to risk hurting my son. Im glad I didn't either because some cold medicines can be very harmful. I probably had bronchitis for about a week and half and it was brutal, the worst part was that I couldn't sleep or breathe.
