Bronchitis Does NOT Mean Antibiotics.

Bronchitis does not automatically mean antibiotics.

Most acute bronchitis is caused by viruses, and even thick yellow or green mucus does not prove that the infection is bacterial.

The diagnosis matters. Treat the cause—not just the cough.

COLD GETTING WORSE??
Pay Attention!!

Most colds gradually get better.

Trouble breathing, dehydration, prolonged fever, no improvement after about 10 days, or getting better and then suddenly worse are different.

Know when it is time to stop waiting it out and get evaluated.

Are You Double-Dosing Acetaminophen?

Tylenol may not be the only acetaminophen you're taking.

Many cold, flu, headache, and prescription medicines contain acetaminophen too, which makes accidental double-dosing easier than you might think.

Before combining medicines, check the active ingredients.

Can Decongestants Raise Your Blood Pressure?

Over-the-counter does not automatically mean safe for everyone.

If you have high blood pressure, check the active ingredient before using a cold or allergy medicine labeled as a decongestant.

Save this before your next trip down the cold-medicine aisle.

When Is a Cold Lasting Too Long?

Still coughing a week into a cold? That does not automatically mean something is wrong.

The bigger question is whether you are gradually improving, staying the same, or getting worse.

Save this the next time a cold seems to be hanging around forever.

GREEN MUCUS? The Color Isn't the Diagnosis!

Green mucus can look concerning, but color alone does not tell you whether an infection is bacterial.

The timeline, severity of symptoms, and whether you're improving or getting worse matter much more.

Save this before your next cold.
