How long does it take for bronchitis to heal? been on antibiotics 48 hrs plus 20 mg prednisone, plus nebulizer 3-4 hrs not better. coughing green stuf

TIme to see Dr again: If not better after 48 hours, a reassessment is a good idea. Sometimes a different medication is needed. Sometimes bronchitis or pneumonia doesn't get better even under treatment, and more aggressive treatment is needed, or occasionally hospitalization. Thus, a recheck by the doctor can help decide the next step.
