Diagnosed with acute bronchitis & given penicillin but am worried about taking it due to having severe ibs, could the bronchitis go away without meds?

Please see below: Bronchitis are usually viral, they usually get better in 1 week without antibiotics but if your symptoms are severe and got fever, you may need to take antibiotics otherwise you don't need to.
