What is difference between secondary bacterial infection of acute bronchitis and bacterial infection?
Secondary bacterial infections of the bronchi is an opportunistic infection where the normal bacteria that live in the nasal/oral region of the pharynx are able to infect the lungs. This usually occurs following a viral infection since the virus typically infects and kills the cells that make up interior lining of the bronchioles. This then causes a breach in this barrier which allow the bacteria to invade the tissues underneath and cause a response (bronchitis) by the immune system.

Is sulfamethoxazole prescribed for bronchitis-laryngitis?
Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic that is sometimes prescribed in combination with trimethoprim (as TMP-SMX) for bacterial infections. While it may be used for certain respiratory infections, it is not typically the first-line treatment for bronchitis or laryngitis, which are often viral in nature. Antibiotics like sulfamethoxazole are more appropriate for bacterial bronchitis or secondary bacterial infections. Always consult a healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment.
Secondary infections?
DefinitionA secondary infection is an infection that occurs during or after treatment of another, already existing infection. It may result from the treatment itself or from alterations in the immune system.For example, a vaginal yeast infection that occurs after antibiotic treatment of a bacterial infection is a secondary infection. The development of bacterial pneumonia following a viral upper respiratory infection is another example.
