How long is the treatment of bronchitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not need any: The vast majority of bronchitis is caused by viral infections and will resolve on its own with or without treatment. Typical course is 7-10 days, but the cough may linger for several weeks. If no fever, or nasty/colored sputum, and symptoms are improving, no treatment needed--your body takes care of that. Otc cough syrup/mucinex may help soothing cough. If worsen, consult doc. Good luck.
