Q: what cough medicine is good for bronchitis coughing been few weeks. currently taking prednisone and use inhaler?

: Any cough medicine with guaifenesin should be helpful. I don't recommend using a cough medicine with a suppressant for this situation. Thus plan Robitussin would be better than Robitussin DM.
