Well folks, we're diving into the nitty gritty of antibiotics and bronchitis! It's like a medical soap opera in here. So here's the tea: antibiotics can be a real game changer for bronchitis, but only when it's caused by bacteria, not viruses. They're the superhero swooping in to save the day, but only when the villain is bacteria. So basically, it's not always necessary to use antibiotics for bronchitis, but when it is, boy, they really save the cough-filled day!
