To treat a case of acute bronchitis, one must take some steps in reducing the bronchitis symptoms. This is not a difficult task, especially if you are a healthy person, your only problem being bronchitis. Antibiotics are not one of the medication that work in case of bronchitis. Furthermore, if there is already a problem with your lungs, or with your heart, the bronchitis treatment will be a little more agressive.

There are two types of bronchitis that one can have: acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. The acute bronchitis case is more easy to treat. Most of all the acute bronchitis cases go away in about two to three weeks. There is no special treatment necessary in cases of acute bronchitis, in almost all cases of bronchitis home treatment being the only one that is needed. This home treatment against bronchitis includes:
- realiving the cough, which is the trade mark for bronchitis; this is done by drinking a lot of fluids, taking cough drops and staying away from any irritants that may irritate your lungs even more if you have acute bronchitis; a person can also use in cases of bronchitis cough suppressants; these may help you from coughing; another way to go is using expectorants in cases of bronchitis, because these make coughing much easier and also bring up the mucus that is create when having bronchitis;
- if you have a case of acute bronchitis, the best thing to do is avoid alcohol and caffeine; these products may case the loose of fluid in your body;
- if you are a smoke and also suffer from bronchitis, the best thing to do is cut back on the daily number of cigarettes or even stop smoking, if possible;
- because acute bronchitis is an infection, there is a lot of energy used by your body to fight against bronchitis; so in this period you should get a lot of rest and give your body a chance to recuperate and develop the necessary strength to fight bronchitis;
- to fight against fever and the body aches that you might have when suffering from acute bronchitis, you should take aspirin or ibuprofen; however, be careful not to give aspirin to any bronchitis patient that is under twenty years old;

These are some of the things that need to be made at home in order to heal from bronchitis. However, if your doctor considers that in your bronchitis case, there is the need for medication, these may often include the following:
- beta agonists, which can dialate your airways, thus realiving the bronchitis symptom, coughing; but the bad thing about this bronchitis medication is that it may have some side effects, which include tremor or shaking;
- antibiotics are only used in cases of bronchitis where there is the risk of complications;
