Bronchitis is usually treated with rest, plenty of fluid intake and the avoidance of irritants such as smoke and fumes. Patients with chronic or severe cases may also be prescribed medication by their physician. 

Antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolone antibiotics and penicillinase-sensitive penicillin antibiotics are among the most common medications prescribed to patients with bronchitis. These include amoxicillin, Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and Levaquin (levofloxacin).
