 [ Symptoms ] my grandma has not slept in 15 days she has bronchitis [ Disease ] well the symptoms seems to be more annoying due to gastro esophageal reflux disease or gerd and not bronchitis however gerd when becomes severe can cause even bronchitis or asthma like symptoms in case if she is being treated for bronchitis with antibiotics then it can further cause hyperacidity and worsen the condition i would therefore suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist first and get her thoroughly investigated for acid reflux and appropriate treatment like antacids and proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole and h2 blocker like ranitidine and sleeping with head raised compared to feet can help hope this information helps regards
