Suggest Treatment For Acute Bronchitis

Hi doc, my 80 year old mom was suffering from acute bronchitis with persistent cough. She was administered various antibiotics in the hospital after her sputum and serum examination reveled the following:
Sputum: Shows many gram positive cocci in pairs, chains and clusters
Serum : Influenza A virus present
While she has been relieved from the hospital, she has been prescribed Nebulization with Levolin and Budecort twice daily. She is type II diabetic with 3rd stage CKD. Could you please suggest whether Levolin and Budecort will have any side effect on her and how long should she continue with the nebulization- 2, 3 or six months,

Thanks

Hello

No Levolin and Budecort will have any side effect on her and she should use them for two weeks.
