I've had bronchitis for a month now. been on 2 antibiotics, a steroid and cough syrup and still not better. seen 2 different doctors?

Bronchitis=Viral: We don't treat bronchitis with antibiotics. Coughs that aren't pneumonia need to resolve on their own. I would advise stopping antibiotics. Bronchitis can unfortunately last several months. Mild exercise, humidifier, avoiding things that irritate the lungs and sometimes inhalers can help.
