Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if your grandson is diagnosed with Bronchitis then he needs a prescription of antibiotics and in case if the antibiotics are making him to throw up you can consult your treating physician and get evaluated as it seems to be side effect of antibiotic that he is facing..
He definitely needs antibiotics and the physician can change the antibiotic with other groups of antibiotics to relieve his symptoms..
He should continue with tylenol, Ibuprofen and also decongestants..
He can also do steam inhalations and also use a humidifier in his room..
Sip on plenty of warm water..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Steroid nasal sprays can also help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
