Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bronchitis needs inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for complete recovery.
Only antibiotics won't help in bronchitis.
Since you are not taking inhaled treatment you are not improving.
So better to consult pulmonologist and start inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and ICS (Budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
