You should start tablet azithromycin 500 mg for 5 days along with a codeine/dextromethorphan syrup 3 times daily.
Sometimes bronchitis are resistant to normal cough and cold treatment band may require a use of inhalers.
In that case you need to start inhalers like seroflo/advair
Steam inhalations three times daily will help
let know if things get better
