Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis Infection

I ve been recently greeting sick a lot for the past couple of months. It s ranged from the common cold to where it s bad enough that I go to The local clinic where they ldiagnosine it as bronchitis, but I ve had brohncitis 3 times in the past 4-5 months on top of all the other colds. And whenever I fall ill with bronchitis it s usually a week to 2 weeks until I am healthy enough to return to school. Please help me and figure out why I m constantly getting sick.
