Brief Answer:
Start inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern.
You are not improving because you are not taking appropriate treatment for bronchitis.
Best treatment for bronchitis is inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also beneficial in your case.
These drugs will ease your symptoms.
Please let me know if you are taking any inhaled drugs.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
