I've had acute bronchitis for over a month now, no improvement

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hey guys.

I'm looking for some advice over this matter. I think the title explains everything.

I've visited the doctor 3 times now, yet I've had little improvement.

I've been using Salbutamol syrup, Theophylline Guaifenesin syrup, Diphenhydramine Syrup, Bromhexine tablets, Acetylcysteine, and some other drugs. I even had an IV infusion with Aminophylline and a bunch of more drugs in it, but I still have to cough up a LOT of phlegm or I'll have problem breathing.

It's a pretty nasty scene, and very disruptive in the everyday routine basis; especially in public places. It's not like that I can hold it back or something.

I was wondering, Is there any suggestions you'd like to make? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

FYI, I don't live in the US.

    I used to have bronchitis. Something to know about it is it's different for everyone. My sister used to cough awfully non-stop in bed for days, whereas I almost didn't feel it. The fact that your coughing up something is a good thing because it shows activity in your body. It's much worse to feel the symptoms and not be able to apply some sort of solution. Just know that plenty of people have it worse than you, so keep on going.
