What Is The Treatment For Bronchitis?
Was diagnosed with bronchitis one week ago. Have taken all prescribed meds, prednisolone, nebulizer tx's, along with anitibiotic. Worse now. can't breathe deeply at all without horrific coughing spells, can hardly catch my breath, only very shallowly. Still trying neublizer, with little results.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are diagnosed as bronchitis and still no improvement seen even with antibiotic and steroid....
Hence your detail work up should be done as follow.....
-Auscultation again
-Chest x ray
-EKG and if needed echocardiography
-sputum examination if needed
-CBC
For these work up consult nearby pulmonologoist for examination and accordingly work up
If bronchoconstriction present then nebulization with levosalbutamol and budesonide needed
Take care
Hope your concern solved
