What is not typically recommended for Acute Bronchitis?

In the context of acute bronchitis, the typical management focuses on symptomatic relief, as the illness is often viral in origin. Supportive care, hydration, and cough suppressants are routinely recommended to help alleviate symptoms.

Antibiotics are not typically advised for acute bronchitis unless there is a suspicion of a bacterial infection, which is rare. The vast majority of cases are caused by viruses such as influenza or rhinovirus, where antibiotics would not be effective. Over-prescribing antibiotics can lead to unnecessary side effects and contribute to antibiotic resistance. This understanding reinforces why antibiotics are the answer that does not align with standard recommendations for the treatment of acute bronchitis.
