A member asked:
Left over cough from bronchitis that's been gone for 2 or 3 weeks, still have the cough. will a regular cough suppressant work for now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's not unusual for a cough to last for 4-6 weeks after a bout of bronchitis. Over the counter cough suppressants are good to take to control your symptoms. Drink plenty of liquids. Honey can help soothe your throat if it becomes inflamed from the coughing.
