If your bronchitis symptoms are worsening despite medicines like Astharid and Restoflix, it may mean the infection is not controlled or there is an underlying issue like asthma or a more severe flare. Do not continue the same treatment on your own, seek a doctor review as you may need a change in antibiotics, inhalers, or further tests like a chest X-ray. Meanwhile, take steam inhalation, stay hydrated, and avoid dust, smoke, and cold exposure; if you have breathlessness or chest tightness, get medical help urgently.
