A member asked:

I am taking a zpak and tussionex for bronchitis but still congested and coughing is there anything else i can do, and i am taking tylenol (acetaminophen) for fever

A few things.: Treat your symptoms. Consider taking a cough suppressant such as dextromethorphan, a nasal decongestant such as pseudo ephedrine, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen for the aches and pains.
