actually bronchitis is a virus and can not be cleared up with antibiotics. If anything is going to be prescribed it should be just an inhaler or something.

Not taking any medications?  You have not gone to the doctor?  Bronchitis is one that responds well with the proper prescribed medications.  Though even taking medications it could take 2-4 weeks to feeling totally better.  Never known a case to clear up without medication.
