Before I start - I AM NOT A DOCTOR NOR A PHARMACIST.

Ok - now that that is out of the way, let's first talk about bronchitis.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes in the lungs.

Prednisone is a corticosteroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

And so Prednisone will help alleviate the bronchitis by reducing the inflammation.

Keep in mind that Prednisone, like other steroid medications, can reduce your immune function, so it's important to stay clear of sick people.
