snoboy Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 of being so fucking sick. UGH! What to do for deep bronchial coughs that produce foamy phlegm, and make my chest hurt? Been steaming my head every hour or so - helps. Thank goodness for Canada - Cough Syrup with CODEINE helps me sleep... any other good tips for me? Quote
G-spotter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Nasal irrigation with salt water has been working wonders for me. Quote

sobo Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Nasal irrigation with salt water has been working wonders for me. OMG! Not the neti pot again! Quote
Alpinfox Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Time for a trip to a drier clime. Joshua Tree? Red Rox? Cochise? Potero? Maybe you can write it off as a medical expense. Worked for the consumptives in the 19th cent. Quote
olyclimber Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 get a job, hippy. and cut your hair. Quote
G-spotter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I don't have one of those retarded neti pots... I just got a big ol' bulb syringe and let fly up there. Turns the snots from concrete to liquid and out they blow. Repeat every 3 hours or so. You can also mix a little tea tree oil in the water and kill any nasty biofilms back in there. Gargling with salt water gets the same area from the other (throat ) end. A mix of gargling and nasal saline syringing cleans me right out, so i can taste and smell again. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 - get at least 8 hours of sleep every night - minimize time exerting in the cold air - minimize your alcohol intake - eat nutritious food, drink plenty of water, and give it time Quote
denalidave Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Just eat a whole bunch of acid and you'll be fine. Seriously though, have you tried the zicam stuff? If you have a cold/flu type bug that stuff seems to work but only if you catch it early enough. Sounds like you are beyond the early enough time frame but it may speed your recovery anyway. Quote

Go see a Doctor it sounds like its time,but if i have a runny nose i flush it with Nasal Saline Solution and take a Claritin-D before it gets to my throat and chest! Seems to be alot of that shit going around,but i think mold and mildew is the cause of most the infection which i'm allergic too. Edited January 22, 2009 by pc313 Quote

KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Drink before bed: 100 ml of vodka with a squeeze of lime, and a teaspoon of honey - stirred. Quote
murraysovereign Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Time for a trip to a drier clime. Joshua Tree? Red Rox? Cochise? Potero? Maybe you can write it off as a medical expense. Worked for the consumptives in the 19th cent. Cuba! Sun, beaches, rum, and free health care. And because you're not American, you can travel there without having to worry about being imprisoned on your return. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Dru's remedy is a good one if you have chronic sinusitis. I am not sure if it will help bronchitis. Sometimes bronchitis is the result of a micoplasma infection. These are often treated with aminoglycoside antibiotics such as Zithromax (azithromycin). Quote
