How to treat bronchitis?

Like a cold: For the vast majority of people, "bronchitis" is a fancy word for a chest cold. It is caused by one of hundreds of viruses, and antibiotics won't help. Cough remedies are usually of little use, since the airway is designed to make us cough when irritated. It's a life-saving reflex that no syrup will overcome. However generic Benadryl (diphenhydramine) might help with sleep. Sleeping sitting up can reduce congestion

Bronchitis: Bronchitis is usually treated with antibiotics. Occasionally bronchodilators (albuterol) and oral steroids are added.
