okay I was sick with bronchitis 4 weeks ago and took med's for it got to feeling better in about a week in a half but I still have this nasty cough anyone have any idea's on how to get rid of it I think I have taken everything known to man and maybe somethings that were not known to man and still I can not get rid of it Help I think im going to cough my self to death!!!!!!!!! Any one else having this same problem???

Did you take antibiotics for it initially and if so, did you continue to take them all even after you were feeling better?? IF not, sometimes it isn't all the way taken care of. IF so, maybe a different antibiotic is needed. I do know that once I didn't take all the script for antibiotics I had once and within a month, I had bronchitis again. Just a thought. (((hugs)))

I did take all of my med's I learned that lesson a long time ago I have thought about going back to the doctor but havent had the money due to the holidays. I don't feel bad at all I have all my energy and I feel great except all of this coughing going on I hate to say it but I have coughed so much I have peed my pants that was way embarasing to say the least. I get all red and can't stop coughing. I hate it!

Take Chelle33's advice. I had the same thing, I coughed so hard I had to go back to the doctor because my ribs were so sore, I peed my pants too. LOL so your not the only one. The Robitusin DM really helps. Boy it was a relief too. Bronchitis is really bad. A friend of mine couldn't talk for 3 months. I got it twice this year. Never had it before either. A lot of people seem to be geting bronchitis for some reason lately. weird.!!!!!!

Ravenlost had a great idea too. did that also. thats good to go for kids with the croupe (spelling)

When I was younger, my grandma used to give us a spoonful of honey for our coughs. As far as I remember, it always helped us. So when my kids get to coughing, I usually give them some, it seems to help. It'd be worth a shot. Good Luck to you.. hope you get to feelin' better.

do a hot toddy.

All ya need is:
bourbon
honey
lemon juice

I put about 4 TBS. of honey in a microwave proof cup and heat it for about 30-45 sec. then pour in the bourbon (as much as you like) and the lemon juice. Stir it really well and sip on while it is still warm.

We always claimed that we really did not know if it helped or not but it sure made you feel better.

LOL at adair really as much as I want hot dogs im getting better just thinking about it.


Thank you everyone I just found out the other day that I have endometiosis and all of this coughing is making me hurt worse all this pain is getting me down!!

adair has the best answer:-) My grandmother used to have the preacher buy her the burbon for "medcinal purposes". It truly did make you feel better. Guess cuz the bourbon numbed your throat.
