No, antibiotics unfortunately dont help with bronchitis, but because having bronchitis increases your chance for getting lung infections antibiotics would be used to treat the lung infection and not bronchitis. To treat the bronchitis you'd need a bronchodialator i.e proventil or steroids ie prednisone, atrovent etc.
