I have bronchitis and i'm on the z-pack, cough syrup and steroids. i took 4 z-pack pills and my cough is still terrible! when will it get better?

It varies: Cough can linger after the causative infection is gone, so the answer to your question is that it can last for a few days or even a few weeks.
