Antibiotics do not help healthy individuals with bronchitis
"In the study, coughing lasted an average of 11 days after patients saw their doctors, whether they got antibiotics or not. Other symptoms, such as phlegm and shortness of breath, were reduced by less than a day for people treated with amoxicillin or erythromycin."
The abstract can be found here.

You didn't expect antibiotics to help "healthy" people, did you? One has to be at least a little bit ill to take them... :-)
