In case it is bronchitis, I suggest you to insist on usage of (organic) antibiotics for precaution (try penicilines, avoid usage of synthetic ones, which can cause diggestive problems, unless you have alergy to penicilines). I'll add a regular dose of brochodilatators (Ventoline - generic name Sulbutamol) instead of steroides, to help you with breathing problems. If your problems don't stop in 7-8 days (chronic bronchitis), give a sample of sputum (lung spit), to discover the cause. Try to use Vitamine C in higher dosages in any case, to improve the defensive response of your organism. There's nothing to worry! I'm sure everything would be just fine very soon!
