Suggest Medication For Bronchitis
About a week (maybe a week in a half) ago I went to my doctor thinking I had bronchitis. (I m asthmatic and get it often) so she gave me biaxin to fight it. Unfortunately the biaxin didn t work and I ended up going to a walk in, due to my doctor being on vacation, and he told me to take my inhalers (pulmacort and the blue one). A few days ago, however; what feels like the back of my right lung started to hurt when I breathed deeply and today during work it hurt even more while I was lifting. Now I can barely lift anything and walking/moving is a chore. Both breathing and lifting hurts. I drive a standard and could barely shift gears on the way home due to the pain

Hi thanks for asking question.
You seems to have worsen your asthma attack with viral or bacterial infection that lead to bronchospasm.
First if it found severe asthma as breathlessness even with mild exertion take nebulization with levosalbutamol and budesonide respule.It will relieve bronchospasm to some extent and you feel better.
Then regularly maintain on formeterol metered dose inhaler.
Take your chest x ray if consolidation present then antibiotic given.
Complete blood examination also done.
Eucalyptus with steam inhalation useful.
Garlic is good in your case.
Onion having antiinflammatory action so helpful.
Wish you good health.
