HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having persisting bronchitis then you may need a short course of oral steroids to decrease the inflammation in your chest.
These are commonly given in persons with bronchitis not responding otherwise.
They would be given for 4 to 5 days along with your other medication.
I hope this helps
