What is a good home remedy for bronchitis?
Bronchitis is an infection and inflammation in the lungs, often caused by bacteria. Your doctor can determine if you need antibiotics. Sometimes an inhaled medicine is also used to reduce the inflammation in the bronchi, and make breathing easier. Breathing in steam vapors will help loosen the mucus in your chest, making it easier to cough up. The easiest way to do this is by pouring boiling water in a bowl and making a “Tent” with a towel or small blanket over your head. Vick’s Vap-O-Rub on your chest and back also helps. By all means try the homeopathic remedies suggested, but please see your doctor as well. Untreated bacterial bronchitis can very quickly turn into pneumonia, and people do still die of pneumonia.
