The symptoms of bronchitis include a wet cough and sputum production. As the antibiotics take effect, the color of the mucus often will change and the amount will start to diminish. Discuss hydration, rest and your asthma plan with your PCP. Asthma often worsens during a respiratory illness and the use of steroids may be addressed during an in person or virtual visit with Healthtap.
