Natural Cures for Bronchitis

By Rickey Henolap


This problem affects many people in the winter months when the air is cold and all those nasty little viruses are floating around everywhere. A hard cough with yellow, or green phlegm showing up in a day or two that just won't go away, and an elevated temperature can make you miserable at any time of the year for some . The coughing can be bad enough to make your chest ache too and this is no fun at all. Some people go to the doctor and get prescription medications, others try the natural route of home care for bronchitis fever.

Respiratory disease can obstruct breathing including even a person's quality of life or, at the uttermost, result in death. Bronchitis produces a block of the bronchial tube, or breathing tubes that wind up in the lungs. Bronchitis can be temporary or long-run, serious or frequent. Elements contributing to this problem include childhood infections, smoking, pollution, and long-run infections.

You should see your doctor if you suspect you have viral bronchitis, because it could be bacterial. If it is bacterial you will need antibiotics, but if it is viral then antibiotics will not help. Your doctor will listen to you breathe with a stethoscope, check your neck glands for swelling, and perform a check of your throat and sinuses. If they see evidence of yellow mucus then it is probably not viral and they will prescribe antibiotics for you.

The symptoms for acute and chronic bronchitis are similar. People who suffer from either form experience coughing fits. They may also see increased production of phlegm, discomfort in the chest, wheezing, elevated body temperature and occasional chills. The phlegm produced due to this condition may be clear, gray, white, or yellowish-green in color. The color may help a doctor determine what the bronchitis cause for a given patient is.

One of the home care ideas for bronchitis fever is a mentholated chest rub, a vaporizer to keep the air you are breathing moist, a pain and fever reducer, plenty of liquids like hot teas for the comfort factor. This works in probably about twenty percent of the cases as they are most likely mild and will go away in a week or so. Rest, sleeping on an incline with your head and chest higher than your feet may help as well.
