Suggest Treatment For Coughing When Suffering From Bronchitis
I have chronic bronchitis and try to keep it under control with meds.....inhaler, prednisone tabs, antibiotic when necessary and use a nebulizer when absolutely looks like it s getting bad. I am doing all of those treatments now for what I thought was a condition that is pollen related (with the count being so incredibly high) but my cough is horrendous, I m store thru my back and chest & neck from severe coughing, nasal discharge is completely clear. Should I add Claritin to my regimen?

First of all I will say continue antibiotics and nebulization as both are very helpful in your case. For the problem of cough you have to take syrup tusQ-Dx or syrup grilinctus every 6-8 hourly. Take steam inhalation at-least three to four times daily to relieve the congestion and discomfort from your chest.
