How Long Will It Take To Get Rid Of Acute Bronchitis?

I was prescribed Augmentin 3 times daily for 10 days for acute bronchitis. I am also using an steroid inhaler. I have been taking it for three and a half days now. I am still coughing up a lot of mucus and am having a lot of wheezing/rattling going on in my chest. I feel I am better than I was a day or two ago, but how long should it take get rid of this sickness? What are some signs that I am getting better??

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You can add azithromycin 500 mg daily to your antbiotic regimen and can take formoterol budesonide combination....

Hopefully your cough will get cleared up...

Best wishes
