Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. For cough with thick mucus, you need to take a mucolytic. It will make mucus thinner for you to spit it out.
2. Along with it steam inhalation is helpful in lysing mucus. Avoid more than two times a day.
3. For bronchitis, you can use augmentin. However, discuss with your doctor once.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
