Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Acute bronchitis is treated with antibiotics and antihistaminic drugs. If you have persistent symptoms then you should go for x ray chest to rule out other cause like emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Respiratory breathing exercise is helpful. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.

Wish you a very good health
