Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bronchitis is inflammation of airways.
So anti inflammatory drugs like corticosteroid is beneficial in bronchitis.
Since you already consulted chest specialist and her bronchitis is mild, she will definitely improve with wysolone (prednisone - oral corticosteroid).
If she is not improving then she will need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
So continue with wysolone and wait for improvement.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
