Usually it's the inhaler that does the trick. Get lots of sleep and stay in warmer temperatures. Take hot, hot showers or better, soak in a hot tub. That induces a temporary rise in body temperature (fever) that helps to slow down bacterial and viral growth.

Doctors have spent decades trying to get other doctors to stop prescribing antibiotics for bronchitis. The antibiotic of choice is none. The inhaler should be fine, unless you begin to have an asthma flare, but you could very easily need systemic steroids, and it's better and ultimately cheaper to start them early rather than wait until there's no doubt. Ho Ho Wheeze.
