zithromax asthma

Nebulizer treatment for bronchitis?

I went to the doctor after coming down with bronchitis; she gave me a nebulizer treatment in the office and prescribed an albuterol inhaler, prednisone, and zithromax. She said that I have a combination of bronchitis and asthma, but I don’t have asthma normally. I do have bad allergies, and it seems that I get quite a bit of bronchitis for someone that does not smoke and is not around kids. Is there such a thing as asthma that only manifests itself as the result of illness? I have been told this by another physician too, but I’m confused how they could possibly distinguish bronchitis from asthma just by listening to my breathing. I have an audible wheeze upon exhalation, and my breathing improves after using the inhaler.

bronchitis is in your upper airways ,asthma is lower aiway reactive airway disease.Asthma can be triggered by chronic infections or irritations even if you never had it before.so yes you can tell the difference depending on where you listen with your scope.
