ANTIBIOTICS
Many exacerbations of airway obstruction are secondary to acute infections. In patients with bronchiectasis, the specific organism responsible, usually S. aureus or Pseudomonas, is easily identifiable. However, in patients with bronchitis or asthma, a specific agent associated with periodic increases in cough and sputum is not usually isolated. In the first case, the appropriate antibiotic can be chosen, while in the latter case it is often more cost-efficient to administer a broad-spectrum antibiotic such as ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or tetracycline. The route of administration depends on the specific agent and the acuteness of the process.
