Hi,
Most cases of bronchitis are caused by viruses and as such, antibiotics are not very helpful. I will suggest that you stay calm and this will resolve in due course. There is no need to be worried about this as long as there is no fever, no breathing difficulties and you can work okay most of the times.
I wish you well.
