Hello,
Bronchitis is a part of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and it is a reversible bronchial obstruction.
So, you should take bronchodilator, expectorant and mucolytic with antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection, Amoxiclav drug thrice a day for 7 days is sufficient.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
