Bronchitis is usually (please see a doctor) viral and antibiotics don't work to treat it. If it is a bronchial infection, then don't take advice about alternates to amoxicillin from AB users unless you know they are a doctor. Here is what the Mayo Clinic has to say: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bronchitis/DS00031/DSECTION=treatments%2Dand%2Ddrugs

It depends on whether it's viral or bacterial.

Patients with pneumonia are given a specific antibiotic based on what type of organism is causing the disease. If the organism is unknown the antibiotic is then based on individual risk factors, for example, age, health and severity of illness. The most common penicillins used to treat pneumonia are; Amoxicillin (Amoxil). Ampicillin (Ramacillin). Benzylpeniciilin (Crystapen) Piperacillin-tazobactam (Tazocin). Ticarcillin-clavulanate (Timentin).
