Bronchitis Home Remedies? - 09-25-2009, 12:50 AM

I'm 95% sure I've developed bronchitis for a second time this year [5% thinks this is a kick a$$ sinus infection, but those usually don't affect your lungs]. I've put off going to a doctor for four miserable days hoping it would clear up [so I wouldn't waste money on nothing], but the symptoms ended up fluctuating [one day I'm on top of the world the next I'm basically having an asthma attack] so I decided before I developed pneumonia I'd see a doctor.

I've been doing some research online about some home remedies that will help me sleep tonight since I've been up for the past four days coughing my lung up or wheezing and mostly all of them say to take a hot shower and drink warm tea, or in one case eat cayenne pepper . Well that's all swell and dandy but it doesn't work for me, I get maybe five minutes of relief and I'm back wheezing at square one.

Since bronchitis is common, I was curious if anyone had any relief tips that will help me sleep tonight until I can get to a doctor tomorrow [and that will help until the medication kicks in], that you've tried yourself. Not something a anonymous website claims works. Warm showers and tea don't work very well as I've said and I was wondering if anyone else had anything else.

Thanks
