How Long Should I Take Steroids For Bronchitis?
Hello, I was diagnosed with bronchitis and given a prescription for Augmentin, Medrol taper pack and alliteration inhaler. Is this the normal treatment for bronchitis? If so, how many days should i be taking the steroids? I think the doctor may have given me too long of a prescription and I don t want to take it any longer than I really have to.
