If you have a vaporizor, plug it in. It helps with breathing. If you don't have one, turn on your shower with just hot water. And sit in there for a bit, to help relieve some of the congestion. Feel Better.

Re: Bronchitis Bites

no, once it's in the lungs, only strong antibiotics can help you.... I've been there too... I once had REALLY BAD bronchial pneumonia... was out of it for 2 months

bronchitis isn't nearly as advanced... so after you get meds, just avoid drafts, rest, drink liquids, hot showers (the hot humid air is good for you!) and you'll be back to it within a week or so...

I know! I was already to go excercise and I did last night, but my glands are so swollen and I don't want to make myself more sick by pushing it at the gym. Feel better soon!!!

Re: Bronchitis Bites

Thanks girls! I am going to the Drs today so hopefully he'll give me some antibiotics and I'll get better soon. The thing that ***** is that whenever I get a cold or something, it turns into bronchitis...probably because of my asthma, so I usually get it like 2x a year..this time just seems really bad

Breathe in some steam, put your head over boiling water with a towel over your head. Please feel better. I have siunitis, I am not a happy girl, but I am trying to push thru it, but every morning I wake up feeling like crap!!!

We've been doing the steam thing... we have some cream with menthol or something to put int he water and that helps loosen things up for a bit, but it never lasts long. I also found that heat on my chest feels good..be it the sun, or a hot water bottle or whatever.

And I definitely feel your pain wrt the sinisitus...I have that too but not as bad as it used to be... not sure which is worse..head feeling like its going to explode or the lungs

Re: Bronchitis Bites

I went tot he Dr yesterday becuase I've had a cough and a horrible sore throat for 3 weeks (this is the 3rd week). Sure enough...bronchial pneumonia BUT its not that bad. The DR gave me 4 different prescriptions (gross).
Get plenty of rest, take the meds and feel better!!!!
