I have been put on (1) cepodem200 twice a day, (2)levocetirizine & Montelukast (5mg+10mg), and Ascovent tablets once at night. I never had any bronchitis or asthma problem in my life. Today is the second day of medication, my condition is better, only the cough bothers on and off. Please suggest if so much o f medication is necessary
