Answers:
No matter what you do, it will take some time to run it out of your system, but there are a few things you can do to speed it up a bit!.

Main thing is to try to heat up your chest area - heating pad on your chest!. Preferably, use dry heat, not damp heat!. Dampness may do more harm than good!. This heat helps break up the congested mucus or phlegm in your lungs and allows it to clear out faster!.

Don't eat dairy products for a little while!. Milk, cheese, yogurt, etc!. - there's something in milk products that helps congestion form!. So eating dairy products, means longer waiting till it clears up!.

As with just about any illness, try to get some good rest too!. propping your head up may help breathing if you're finding it difficult!.

Hope you get better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Boil some water and pour it into a mug, add a teaspoon of honey and squeeze some lemon juice into it, stir it until the honey gas desolved, wait for it to cool down and drink it!.!.!.!.!.

look and see if there is any honey in the house, if so each a couple teaspoons!. It will coat your throat and you will not cough as much!. It will not hurt you in any way, and it works way better than cough drops!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may want to get an inhaler or ask for a stronger medication from the doctor!. You may want to get a lung x-ray too, just in case there is any fluid build-up in your lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
