What can i use to help break up the congestion from bronchitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucous thinners: Mucous is generally the culprit for congestion. Breaking up the mucous can be accomplished by drinking lots of water, breathing in steam regularly, taking mucolytics (mucinex) and antibiotics if the bronchitis is due to a bacterial infection.
