Bronchitis........help please?

Question

Hi to anyone taking the time to read this and thank you. Does any one in here get bronchitis a few times a year. If so, does anyone have any tips on what to eat, what to avoid, even what areas of the US are the best places to live to avoid getting it so frequently. Does stress factor into it? Thanks for any info. peace

Answer 1

mullein tea, thyme tea, horsefoot tea, tigerbalm ointment, hollow out black radish, fill it with a spoonful brown sugar, wait until it is dissolved to a liquid, take it several times the day or even put it in tea are my ways to cure a bronchitis

maybe you should avoid exposing your throat to too much coldness, in cold areas wear scarves, best ones are those made of silk

which places to live I cannot tell you as I am from Germany

Get well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

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!!

Answer 4

symptoms for the acute are deep cough that brings up grayish or yellowish phlegm, or sputum, from your lungs. Other symptoms are breathlessness, wheezing, and a fever. You may also have pain in the upper chest which gets worse when you cough.

Do not ignore repeated bouts of acute bronchitis. Consult your physician

If you have a fever, take aspirin 3 or 4 times a day to bring your temperature down. Take an over-the-counter cough medicine recommended by your physician, and follow the instructions on the label, to soothe the cough. Stay home, not necessarily in bed but in a warm room. Use a vaporizer or a humidifier to moisten the air your home. This may help to clear your nasal passages and bronchi. The simple treatment is usually all that is needed.

Answer 5

I get it about once a year. There is no rhyme or reason why we get it. Basically the minute I start feeling that tightness in my chest I get to the doctor right away and get breathing treatments and steroids. A lot of liquids and hot showers help too (to help loosen up the congestion in your chest). As far as places to live, probably someplace with low humidity although I would do a TON of research before I moved any where for health reasons. Your doctor might be able to suggest something. Good luck. I know how exhausting and painful bronchitis is!

Answer 7

1] no smoking - don't even be in same room as smokers. If you get bronchitis frequently, you probably already have some lung damage.
2] area with low air pollution
3] eat well - avoid fried, fast, and junk food - even diet junk food
4] take a good multivitamin with minerals every day
5] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day
6] exercise - will improve lung capacity, and improve function of immune system

Answer 8

try and take some kind of vitamin to strengthen your immune system... ask in your health food store.

also, consider being checked out for asthma. a cold and asthma can add up to a bronchitis look-alike/sound-alike

Answer 9

Chronic bronchitis is a serious condition. You should see a lung doctor. Not your general practioner.

Answer 10

If you're getting it so many times a year, you should get a complete check up from your doctor or a respiratory specialist to rule out an underlying cause.
