You have a family or a friend who is suffering from bronchitis and you are looking for bronchitis treatments.

Medications

- Antibiotics – usually the bronchitis results from the viral infection, resulting for the antibiotics to be not effective. However, the doctor may ask you to take in the antibiotic if he suspects you have the bacterial infection. If happen you have the lung disorder which is already chronic, or if you're a smoker, the doctor might also prescribe the antibiotics so it will reduce the risk of the serious, and the secondary infection.
- Cough Medicine – it is best if you will not suppress cough which brings up the mucus, because coughing can help remove the irritants from the lungs as well as air passages. When the cough keeps you from the sleeping, use a cough medicine for you to rest, but don't suppress enough the cough completely. When it is a serious cough and it deprives you from sleeping, visit your doctor and he will recommend you for a specific cough suppressant prescription.
- Other Medications – suppose you have asthma or an obstructive pulmonary disease which is chronic, your doctor can recommend you an inhaler as well as other medications which can reduce the inflammation and the narrowed passages of the lungs.
