I have had acute bronchitis for 2 weeks (on antibiotics for 1 week) and no improvement. still coughing fits and dr hears wheezing in chest still. why?

Airways inflammation: causing the cough and wheezing, antibiotics alone won't help, you will need Bronchodilators and possibly steroids to control the inflammation, kindly revisit your doctor or seek a second opinion, best wishes
