Bronchitis and sinus infection
I went to the ER Saturday morning and was diagnosed with bronchitis and a sinus infection. I couldn't handle not sleeping and being up with a (barking) cough. They prescribed me an antibiotic but no cough syrup to help with the cough. Please help me as I'm losing my mind with not being able to sleep and constantly coughing.

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and cough syrups for few days. Steam inhalation is also beneficial
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
