Thanks for your question on Health Care.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for bronchitis is upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
And viral infection is most likely cause of URTI. It causes sore throat, itching, dry coughing etc.
So better to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Start antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
3. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
5. Avoid hard to chew food.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5-6 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
