Answer 1

Hi Sura

Here are a few remedys to correct your cough.

Cause:
This is a condition from improper diet and results in bowel problems. Relieving the effects of the condition will not heal it. Bronchitis usually develops from a cold which settles in the lungs and develops into a chronic condition if not healed, eventually going into consumption or tuberculosis.

Herbal Aids
1. Comfrey and Aalmond are Specifics for Bronchitis. Since constipation is one of the chief causes of the problem, the bowels must be cleared and kept open with the lower bowel tonic [Fen LB] or herbal laxatives. If one has shortness of breath and needs the throat cleared of mucus, he can use an emetic. Cayenne is very effective for cutting the phlegm, as are fruit juices such as grapefruit, lemon, orange, or pineapple. Chickweed, comfrey, marshmallow or mullein are the greatest cleansers to get the mucus out of the body. One can relax the throat, stomach, and bronchi rapidly with a very small amount of lobelia. Other useful aids for relief are a hot vapor or steam bath followed by a cold shower or sponging; also hot fomentation of pleurisy root or mullein (with lobelia in it) on the chest and spine. If you want to speed up any fomentation, add cayenne as a counterirritant.

2. Bronchitis, Bronchial and Spasmodic Coughs, Whooping Cough: Drink the infusion of red clover freely.

3. Garlic: For chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract (inflamed tonsils, salivary glands, neighboring lymph glands), pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, etc.:Keep garlic in the mouth constantly during wakeful hours, renewing morning and evening after the cloves have absorbed the poisons; or, use another appropriate garlic preparation.

4. Garlic Syrup: for asthma, whooping cough, cough, pneumonia, smallpox, bronchitis, dyspnea, etc.: Where there is spasm, give 1 teaspoonful of the syrup with or without water every 15 minutes until the spasm is controlled, then give 1 teaspoonful every 2-3 hours for the rest of the day; thereafter give 1 teaspoonful of the syrup 3-4 times daily. Use the foot poultice; also, mix the freshly expressed juice with leaf lard and rub on the chest, throat, and between the shoulder blades.

5. Yarrow: Enuresis, bronchitis (and other respiratory affections): Drink the yarrow decoction cool.

6. Pleurisy Root: for pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, inflammatory rheumatism: Give hot infusion while the patient is closely-covered in bed; repeat the dosage every 30 minutes until free perspiration is produced; apply hot cloths externally, wrung out in the infusion.

7. Thyme: May be taken internally or used externally with amazing and beneficial results. Internally: 1 teaspoonful in 1 cupful of water, sweetened with 1 tablespoonful of honey 3-4 times daily; good for infectious bronchitis.

8. Hyssop: for fevers, bronchitis, etc. Give 1 wine glassful warm every hour, (acts as a mild diaphoretic, relieves the kidney and bladder, gently influences the bowels, pleasantly soothes the lining of the stomach; sponge daily with vinegar and warm water.)


Best of health to you.

Cheers

Answer 3

It sounds like you might have bronchitis. If you have been coughing with no improvement, I would suggest going to the dotor. I had bronchitis last summer and I thought it was jsut a bad cough, but after two weeks, I had enough. The doctor had to prescribe steroids to clear it up. For some strange reason, chewing gum eased my cough while I was healing. It might be the mint in it. Try that too.

Answer 4

Mucinex is great, but you have to OVER hydrate yourself to make it work effectively. It works to stop the cough because it clears the mucus MAKING you cough. Also, to calm the cough, especially at night, use Vicks Vapor Rub. Awesome stuff and the only drawback, the greasiness, has been done away with as they now have a cream that's not greasy! The Vicks works great to calm the cough. Hope you feel better!

Answer 5

See your doctor, you most likey need an inhaler to open the bronchial tubes and a steriod to reduce the inflamation such as prednisone.

Answer 6

when it comes to something like this...it's better to consult a doctor first before taking any medication. So i would strongly suggest that you see your doctor. Taking medications for coughs and colds can be hazardous to a person's overall health.
