Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your case is acute bronchitis infective condition
Most of such respiratory tract infection usually caused by viruses
And to prevent secondary bacterial infection, antibiotic course prescribed
Steroid will be able to relieve inflammation as well
Drink more water
If you want then purchase vitamin C tablet or lozenges that will be beneficial
Complete the course of prescribed drugs
If improvement not seen I suggest to investigate with chest x ray, CBC and throat swab
Take care
Hope your concern solved
