Bronchitis

I have bronchitis. And i've been to see two different doctors and i even went to the hospital because i like to make a big deal of things. They gave me antibiotics and super strong cough medicine. But i'm still coughing up loads. So, i looked up natural ways of curing it. And have just eaten some onion-raw, that was painful and drunk some tumeric powder with water. I'm willing myself to feel better. The fact that i paid over 30 squid for my prescriptions and other over the counter crap is ridic. Therefore if anyone has or gets sick like this do try the natural way and hopefully save yourself the hassle of trying to get sypmathy from your doctors and instead being told you should be on stage(it did make me laugh though). I coughed up a bit of phlegmy blood but all is well so far!

When I had Laryngitis, I drink lemon tea with ginger -- I had the lemon tea but no ginger.

My buddy on this site (he's not here anymore) recommended and I tried it and it worked. It was a alittle strong but it worked well.

Now, I'm not sure about bronchitis but it may help you throat a bit.

I'm sorry you're sick too.

Calthrope, did they give you a bright greenish-yellow antibiotic? I got that once and my phlegm came out the same color, if not brighter. I was convinced it was radioactive! Fascinating though. I looked at it for a while.

Thanks Cappysweetie, i'm sorry too. But it's really my own fault. Too much smoking, drinking and whatnot, not good. I tried lemon, honey and whiskey in hot water, that was nice but didn't really help.

Sporklifter, he gave me Amoxicillin which is in pill form. Gone are the days of receiving banana flavoured/coloured liquid antibiotics! But if you mean the packaging it's orange and purple. As for my phlegm! First it was brown! Like Shreddies cereal. It came out all knitted like the wheaty squares, like a web of sticky yuck. Then it turned grey. Then greeny yellow then yellow with blood and now it's yellow but more clear. I got a crap antibiotic which the second doctor said, he said he would have given me something stronger just to stop me from whingeing.

To be honest, i think it's just something you need to endure for about 2 weeks and let your body fight it. Best thing. It's like doing it's own spring/autumn cleaning in one minus the Vileda mop.

Hm, mood phlegm! I think phlegm should be like that all the time. So if you want to let someone know how you feel without saying anything then you can sort of just spit at their feet and let them figure it out..."Oh red with some green--so you're angry and a bit jealous because I didn't invite you to the mall where I got this new bracelet...." At any rate, good luck with the clean(s)ing!

Merci merci!

All in all i've seen three doctors and three nurses! Having drunk two bottles of Pholcodine, i was told by the last doctor that cough medicines don't work. I was like "ah know"!! and then he said since it's a viral infection, antibiotics won't work either. I wanted to scream or cough all over him.

I tried something gross. But since i've been inhaling shit before i thought why not try something that's supposed to be natural? URINE INHALATION!! Tried it and i slept the best sleep in over a week. Basically you take a collection of your pee and add hot water to it, i put boiling water "begone all germs!" in a bowl then put a massive towel over my head and imagined myself in a tiki hut with a massive Polynesian who's sweating Spam and Fanta out of his pores-feel the heat.

Morningmist are you trying to tell me you have no intention of trying urine inhalation??!! You're missing out.

I'm feeling very Madonna today, i may pop down to my local Kabbalah centre and bust out some moves and then go see my yogi.

Ok. What about your boyfriend/girlfriends pee? That's supposed to work too. Like boosting your immune system.

Health! Health! Not love! The 'elixir of life' the 'fountain of youth' can make you whirl like a Viennese dervish.

I'm going to admit you're a bit boring snoring Morningmist, pfft doesn't drink piss, whatever next??

aah kelly, what's he like eh?

I thought i was taking the piss but this guys something else:

Yeah hopefully rehab will sort him out

Morningmist i know! I was in two minds about posting it. It's so wrong but horribly funny too. If he was my kid i would def give him whatever he wanted. He's too cute to refuse. And he's such a skillful smoker.

FeistyAquarian, i wonder if he's on the booze now?
