A natural bronchitis remedy that works like a charm!

Bronchitis is a condition that often develops as a result of a cold which doesn’t resolve quickly. It’s a bacterial infection of the respiratory system, often treated with antibiotics. People most at risk are those who live in damp climates, those who smoke and people with poor or compromised immune system response.

The first signs of bronchitis are a cough that hangs in for a week or more, accompanied by yellow or even greenish phlegm being coughed up. Your doctor may prescribe an expectorant cough medicine, along with a strong antibiotic as a treatment for bronchitis. However, the first antibiotic prescribed may not work, forcing the doctor to prescribe a stronger antibiotic.

A damp climate only worsens the condition, providing a damp breeding ground for the bacteria to really go to town in your lungs. Smoking naturally exacerbates the condition. The ordinary cold which starts this ball rolling may have weakened your immune system response as well.

By the time you see the doctor, the bronchitis may be advanced. Although not usually life-threatening, except perhaps in the case of elderly people, bronchitis can make it difficult to breathe and will certainly make you suffer sleeplessness.
