You'll either get better with time, or get bronchitis.

Smoke a pack of lucky strike's
Quoted:
Fevers gone after 3 days of being sick but the wheezing and coughing up Lung butter is still going on. I have some Athsma, which I use inhalers for, this helps open things up some but gagging up shit all the time is only second to vomiting for me. What are some other remedies out there? Don't say smoking or drinking as they will definitely make shit worse (I never have smoked but drink when it's my duty of course). Cough drops, check Cold/allergy medicine to dry up/open sinuses, check (preventative at this stage) Cool mist evaporator, check Sinus rinsing (netti pot) to rinse Out sinuses, check. Sinuses are now clear. What else to do? |

Make some hot tea and mix in some honey and lemon juice. Old cure, but it works. Good luck!

You sure you aint got pneumonia? Quite possible now I've looked it up. Had very bad sweats to chill cycles 2 days ago but that's gotten better. Just a low fever now with general tiredness, hoarseness, fatigue and lungs of course. |

Exercise in the cold - not so much that you're winded, just enough to open the bronchial passages. Then cough like a hurricane...your lungs want the mucus out.
It hurts. Use vodka. |

Go for a run, 3-4 miles should clear the lungs.

Stay well hydrated and if your fever recurs go to the doc. Coughing isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes the shit takes a while to clear.
(respiratory therapist here) Edit- just finish reading the rest of the thread. Go in and get yer Z-pack. |

Call the health food store, ask if they have bronchitis tea. It's a blend of different plants that help with that wheezing. Works like a charm for me!

To clear mucus, get Robitussin DM. This has a cough inhibiter plus mucinex, which creates more mucus. By doing so your coughs are more productive and better-lubricated, so you don't do so much damage by coughing. Walmart/Walgreens have their own brands for about 2/3 the cost of Robitussin. |

Your asthma just adds a little twist. Doc will probably tell you to stay hydrated and you will cough up your body weight in flem before its over. Nothing a bottle of Nyquil and a day of bed rest won't cure. |

Are you having night sweats, like soak the bed sweating? Have you been out of the country or been in contact with anyone who was out of the country?
What color is your cough butter? |
