Bronchitis - any tips for recovery?

I have bronchitis, and have had a week of antibiotics. I don’t feel quite as breathless, but I still feel shit. Lots of coughing, throat hurts, so tired and very emotional.
I haven’t had a huge amount of time to rest, so I’m trying to prioritise that this weekend, but if anyone has any tips to make it better, or at least feel better, I am all ears.

Rest, fluids, regular pain killers. And try to not change environments too much - I walked the dogs earlier and haven't been able to stop coughing since coming back indoors (Covid).

Rest, fluids and steam! Nice steamy bath or shower as the steam really helps the airways. Avoid the cold (that sets off my asthma which was diagnosed after 3 back to back episodes of bronchitis and 10 weeks of coughing) and too much laughing! Yes that can set off the cough!
