Hi,
If she is suffering from acute bronchitis then she would require antibiotics (quinolones or macrolides or cephalosporins or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) and bronchodilators like beta agonists(salbutamol or terbutaline),anticholinergics like ipratropium bromide or aminophylline with nebulization and steam inhalation.
This all above might have to be given for at least 7 to 10 days to resolve the symptoms.
Consult your pulmonologist for further advise.
