How to cope with bronchitis?Please help?
Question:
Can not stop coughing
Answers:
i have bronchitis since i was young.
i stopped having attcks for years when i started doing indoor exercises really really regularly. i took taekwondo, as it helped my lungs to grow stronger through its breathing exercise. though it can be diffucult at first trying to breath and doing vigorous kicking, the benefits are immense as it it gave me a great body shape plus i became really flexible and the attacks stop. maybe you could try tai chi, yogo or something.
for temporary fast relief. try breathing in hot air. boil hot water and put in a basin, mix in some eucalyptus oil or vicks or anything of the sort, then cover your head with a towel or balnket and breath in the hot steam. this will clear your phlegm and help you to breath and stop coughing. do it regularly.
i know some chinese traditional methods of curing but i'm not sure all of them works. i tried chinese herbal medicine (boil some herbs and drink warm) worked in 2 weeks. the physician also suggested i take crcodile meat, but that i never tried.
i'd suggest you steam your lungs and start exercising, avoid cold, bitter, sour and hot food. Try to keep warm often. Hope you get well soon!
p.s Avoid second hand smoke or don't smoke.

Make someone pat you on the back kind of hard in the general lung area. I had pneumonia and severe bronchitis at the same time i also have asthma and that really helped to break up some of the stuff in my lungs. Also, go to the doctor and get some steroids DO NOT USE OVER THE COUNTER STEROIDS THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
Keep yourself well hydrated. Lots of water, hot tea with lemon and honey soothes the throat and the cough mechinism. And a humidifier helps also.
My PCP Primary Care Physician put me on 2 medications. One to decongest and one for the infection. WORKED WONDERS! Never had a problem after that.
HATE having Bronchitis. Usually get it in the winter real bad. HATE the COUGHING/HACKING for months on end! I try to, when it starts, take a Decongestant Over the counter/Store brand. It seems to work.
