MIL has bronchitis and has been on antibiotics since Monday - is she still considered contagious?
She was going to watch 17 month DD tomorrow - WWYD?

Bronchitis can be contagious as long as symptoms are there. Even with antibiotics.

I get broncitis atleast once every winter since I was a child due to my asthma. The dr always said once the meds were in me for 24 hrs I could be around others.

Well from PP and what I've read it's contagious if symptoms are still there even if you are on antibiotics....
I am preggo too - and DD just got over being sick. We chose to be safe and not have MIL come....
If you can NOT go to SIL I would opt out..... not worth it in my book.
