I've been really sick...Any suggestions for me...Please??!
Question: Hi there...I am reaching out for help, as by now...I'm pretty desperate to get some relief for myself. About a week and a half ago, it started out with a headache...And then I eventually developed: a sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, head & chest congestion, and I just am feeling so sick...My cough is hoarse in nature, and I'm also coughing up a type of yellow mucus...I am an asthmatic, so when I get sick, it usually goes straight to my lungs, and then I typically wind up with Bronchitis. I'm not feeling that much better, & I'm depressed because I've basically been bed ridden, and isolated for the duration of this illness. Please, if anyone has any knowledge or has had any history with lung infections, or any of the other symptoms I've been experiencing--please shed some light on what I can do to help myself...Are there any natural remedies, or medicines I can take to feel better?? I'm been taking Robitussin thus far.

I have asthma too and this is what I do when I am sick.
Plenty of soup and other fluids such as tea and juices. These should be unsweetened 100% juices.
Zinc lozenges or any form of zinc supplement.
A decongestant that will help you to sleep.
Sleep is the best healer of all.
Humidify your air or close the bathroom door and turn on the hot shower and stand in the steamy room. Take a nice steamy bath. Do NOT go to a public sauna or steam room.
I may seem off-topic by mentioning this, but have you considered getting an air purifier if you don't already have one? I have one with a carbon prefilter and a HEPA filter and it makes breathing easier.
First of all there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Its a normal infection when you have asthma i wouldn't try natural remedy's because maybe your allergic... So do what your doctor said and use your asthma tools(Ventolin... and whatever you have in your stock)
