Answer 4

I have suffered from this and nothing I tried helped me. I could not lay down and breath at the same time so I had to try to sleep sitting up. I tried drinking different kinds of tea and various things. Steroids and oral antibiotics did not help me, but IV antibiotics (two, one done right after the other) did help. I had Ticarcillin and Tobramycin IVs every 8 hours. Prayers helped greatly and I do not have it now! I have cystic fibrosis.

The usual treatment is frequent postural drainage that can include postioning and percussion, expectorants and antibiotics. In extreme cases a surgical resection of the affected lung lobe or lobes is called for. This condition requires a doctor's care. There are no herbal or "natural" remedies that can resolve this.
