Bronchitis Treatment

How can I tell the difference between bronchitis and pneumonia?

I have some symptoms that seem to suggest I have or the other. I'm leaning towards bronchitis since I have no fever, no bodily pains, but how do I tell the difference?

Answer 1:

Pneumonia is congestion and inflammation of the lungs. Your lungs feel heavy and it is hard to breathe with pneumonia.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the upper airway. It may be sore/tender and you may cough up a lot of mucus. If you think it is bronchitis, you need to make an appt with your GP so that he/she can start you on some steroids and/or antibiotics.

Answer 2:

There is fever and localized pain associated with pneumonia. Not always the case, but is pretty typical.

Any natural remedies to help with bronchitis?

I am prone to getting bronchitis which is made worse in the winter.
What herbal remedies will help it? Possibly cure it?

Answer 1:

My bronchitis improved dramatically just by watching the air quality and the humidity inside. You can improve indoor air quality by moving to natural cleaning products instead of commercial products and being careful about burning candles, spraying fragrances, etc. Commercial products people think of as "clean" usually have warning labels telling you that they can e harmful. Run a humidifier and keep your humidity at 40%.

What are some ways to relieve bronchitis?

I'm pretty sure I've got bronchitis, and I'm having a hard time breathing. I should have a doctor's appointment either today or tomorrow, so something temporary. I've tried two inhaler puffs, didn't do much good. Are there any other ways?

Answer 1:

i use robenteson.... idk how to spell it sorry. but its sold behind the counter which medical description drugs because it is very strong u have to be 18 to buy it and it can get u high so u have to follow the directions. not like tylenol. iit is very strong and its what i use when i have break outs. both my parents smoke inside so i cant get way from it. it sucks cause i hate cigarettes

Answer 2:

go and see a doctor, to determine if the kind of bronchitis that you have is either viral or bacterial, then depending on that they will either give you antibiotics or codine cough syrup, and an albuterol inhaler. also a hot shower or sauna will do wonders to help relieve symptoms

Answer 3:

Coughing, a lot of guck in your chest. You wait to long you will start coughing up blood. Bronchitis is worse when you lay down at night, you need antibiotics no home cure for this. ONce you get bronchitis you will usually get it again.

Answer 4:

Persistent cough, tightness in the lungs and difficulty breathing, wheezing, a somewhat aching and burning sensation in the upper lung/chest area, excessive phlegm/mucus.

It typically lasts a few weeks (maybe 2 to 4.) In some people it's chronic, coming back over and over again.

Not positive about "natural" treatments. Bronchitis is an inflammatory infection. Antibiotics are often prescribed to fight it off and keep it from getting worse. Sometimes steroids are prescribed to help with the inflammation. Cough medication can be prescribed often, as well.

Answer 5:

The only natural treatment for bronchitis I know of is time, pain, suffering, and possibly death from pneumonia.

An excellent alternative is an antibiotic, cortisone, and a good cough suppressant.

Its your choice.
