I get bronchitis on a regular basis and she needs to drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest and take all of the medicine that the Doctor prescribes. If she's not careful, the bronchitis could progress to pneumonia . . . that's happened to me twice now in the past six years.

I once suffered from Chronic Bronchitis. I would suffer sometimes 3 to 4 times per year! Usually when there was a major change in the pressure outside (I live in the north, and the temperature spikes and dips do wonders to chronic sufferers of bronchitis!). Each time I would get horrible hacking coughs, hoarking up green phlegm..it was so frustrating!
The key to getting rid of your bronchitis is to find a way to completely eliminate the germs that are causing all the phlegm and irritation leading to your hoarking cough and heavy breathing. Keep reading to learn how to do kill these germs!!

Bronchitis is treatable. Your friend needs to see a doctor ASAP so that the infection doesn't get worse and turn into pneumonia.
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi usually caused by infection. If the infection is caught and treated early things usually go very smoothly.
Good luck to your friend, feel better soon.

I get bronchitis every year right around Christmas. It's horrible, but it can be cured. It just takes a long time to get past it. The best thing she can do is get a lot of rest and force TONS of water.

Yes it is cureable, last year I had influenza and that left with bronchitis in my left lung, it was terrible! short breaths and all, plus I smoke so double wammy! but yes they perscribed me some medication and it was gone. so deffinetly see a doctor and possibly a FLu. shot its probly worth it. See a doc. dont go for over the counter meds.

It takes a while, and yes its cureable. It takes time though.3-6 weeks. Rest, water, and sleep.

she should be on antibiotics if directed by her doctor. she should not be smoking. bronchitis is certainly curable unless it is part of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (ie she is a chronic smoker)
