Skip the Waiting Room. Get Doctor-Reviewed Care in Minutes.

That deep, rattling cough has been keeping you up at night for days. You know you need treatment, but the thought of scheduling appointments, waiting in clinics, and spending hours getting help feels overwhelming. ChatRx compresses the entire bronchitis treatment process, from assessment to prescription, into under 15 minutes of your active time.

Let me show you exactly how fast this works.

Start with the Free Symptom Checker

Use ChatRx’s free symptom checker first to confirm your persistent cough suggests bronchitis rather than something else. This 2-minute assessment is completely free and helps you determine if the full e-visit for $25 makes sense.

The checker evaluates your cough characteristics, duration, and associated symptoms without requiring payment or personal information.

Your 15 Minutes of Active Time

Log into ChatRx and begin the chat-based assessment. Answer questions about your cough at your own pace. When did it start? Productive or dry? Mucus color? Chest discomfort? Shortness of breath? Fever?

The AI-powered system guides you through comprehensive questions covering everything I need for accurate diagnosis. Most people complete this in 10 to 15 minutes.

You can pause and resume if coughing fits interrupt. The system saves your progress. No pressure, no time limits.

Submit your responses. That’s it. Your active involvement is done in under 15 minutes.

What Happens After You Submit

I typically review bronchitis cases within 1 to 2 hours. Your symptom pattern tells me whether this is viral bronchitis needing supportive care or bacterial infection requiring antibiotics.

If bacterial bronchitis seems likely based on symptom duration, fever patterns, mucus characteristics, and severity, I prescribe appropriate antibiotics. Azithromycin, doxycycline, or amoxicillin-clavulanate depending on your situation and allergies.

Your prescription goes electronically to your preferred pharmacy, usually ready within 2 to 4 hours of my sending it.

Complete Treatment Plan Included

Beyond the prescription, you receive comprehensive guidance on managing bronchitis effectively. Cough suppressants for dry nighttime coughs, expectorants for productive coughs, pain relievers for chest discomfort, hydration strategies, and when to worry about complications.

This complete approach, not just tossing antibiotics at you, ensures better outcomes and faster recovery.

Same-Day Relief

Most patients have medication in hand the same day they complete their assessment. Start treatment within hours of deciding you need help, not days or weeks later after securing appointments.

People often notice improvement within 24 to 48 hours of starting antibiotics if bacterial infection is present.

No Wasted Time

Traditional healthcare requires driving to clinics, 15 to 20 minutes each way. Waiting in lobbies, 30 to 90 minutes. Seeing the doctor, 10 minutes. Total time: 2 to 4 hours.

ChatRx requires 10 to 15 minutes of answering questions from your couch. Everything else happens in the background while you rest and recover.

Evening and Weekend Access

That persistent cough often worsens at night or flares up on weekends when regular doctors aren’t available. ChatRx works regardless of time or day.

Complete your assessment whenever the cough becomes unbearable. Get treatment when you need it, not when office hours allow.

Quality Without Compromise

The comprehensive questions I ask through ChatRx gather the same diagnostic information as an in-person visit. Studies confirm telemedicine provides equivalent bronchitis outcomes compared to traditional care.

You’re not sacrificing quality for speed. You’re getting both.

Cost Transparency

ChatRx charges $25 for complete bronchitis diagnosis and treatment. No hidden fees. No surprise bills arriving weeks later.

Compare to urgent care visits costing $150 to 250, requiring hours of your time, and exposing you to other illnesses in waiting rooms.

When More Than E-Visit Needed

If your responses suggest complications like pneumonia, severe breathing difficulty, or high-risk features requiring hands-on evaluation, I direct you to appropriate urgent care immediately.

ChatRx recognizes when chat-based assessment isn’t enough and ensures you get the right level of care.

Real Patient Timeline

A patient last week started her assessment Tuesday at 9 AM while getting ready for work. Completed it by 9:15 AM. I reviewed it by 11 AM. She picked up antibiotics at lunch and started treatment Tuesday afternoon. Total active time: 15 minutes.

The Bottom Line

Stop suffering through persistent coughs while waiting for healthcare appointments. ChatRx provides complete bronchitis treatment, assessment through prescription, in under 15 minutes of your active time. Get relief fast without the waiting room hassle.
