It's been 3 weeks since i was diagnosed with bronchitis and i still have dry cough (though much much better). taking mucinex (guaifenesin)...anything else to do?

Dry cough: Try delsym (dextromethorphan) if the cough is keeping you up. If this does not work, see your doctor. You may need to add a steroid to reduce the lung inflammation. Something like advair may be of benefit.
