I don't know why either, but lying flat makes coughing worse. If you can prop yourself up on some pillows in bed it might help you sleep better. I hope you feel better soon. Bronchitis is a biotch.

Thanks for the advice. I have a feeling that I will be staying plenty propped up tonight. I'll also drink a Theraflu which always, if nothing else, helps me sleep.

@ "Doc" - I've suffered with "Bronchitis" at least twice a year for "YEARS" and what I learned to do, especially until I got some anti-biotics in "Me" and even after - was the following:

1) FLUIDS - and planty of them even if you have to getup every 10 minutes to :censored:

2) Eat - Even if not hungry - anything light and filling - Soups, Crackers, Proteins mainly . . . Jello, Fruit, juice too, etc . . . AND - Absolutely NO DAIRY AT ALL . . .

3) SLEEP - With as many pillows under your lower back creating a wedge and try to sleep in an incline position as best "You" can, especially so the flem does not settle in lungs or cut off your airways . . .AND - If you can, have a fan going to keep as much air flowing in the room as possible . . . BTW: this also helps with "Sleep Apnea" . . .

4) Halls or CVS - Sugar Free Honey Mentholiptist Cough Drops - Enough Said . . . :thumbs:

Hope this information helps and provides "You" some releif . . . :D


Of Course - as a "Friend" of "Ours" always says - "YMMV" . . . :facepalm:

ALSO - A DISCLAIMER: I am not a DOCTOR or a Health Professional - This information is from "MY" Personal Experience and What I HAVE DONE To FIND RELIEF ! ! !

Excellent advice, Uncle. I've also had bronchitis more times that I can count. This is the first time, though, since I quit smoking. I know when I smoking (along my serious allergies and asthma) that I was practically inviting it. I can only hope, at least, that it passes quicker than in the past. I did go to the pharmacy to try to refill a prescription for antibiotics. For some reason at 9:30 p.m. they were so busy that I would have been there a couple of hours to get it. But, if I'm not feeling better tomorrow, I will start a course of antibiotics. (Time for my own disclaimer: While I am a "doctor," I'm not in the field of medicine. It's generally a really bad idea to diagnose and treat oneself. . . )

Good night everyone, and thanks for the nice wishes.
 

Uncle

Well if it felt so good how about another bump ;)

Double Uncle Bump!

THANKS - "BOYS" . . :D.

But "We" better watch out people are going to start talking about "Us" getting "BUMPED" every night . . . :facepalm: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The more "You" post about "Your" Past and Health - It seems "We" could have been twins . . . ;)
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I have had Allergy problem since I was 10 years old and Asthma since I was a teenager before I started smoking . . . The only difference is while many people never believe "Me" when I say this - but smoking actually help "me" deal with "My" Asthma and Allergies Problems . . . :facepalm: Also - Since I moved to Florida it seems that I do not have the same problems I did (and still do have at times) when I lived/go up North . . . Matter of fact, I have actually stopped coughing like I use to and getting "bronchitis" as much too . . . AND - As for the Allergies, well let's just say the ones I have from "flora"/"fauna" are totally different here . . . I now have more problems from Chemicals and the "Stuff" people wear to camouflage their odors ( Sometimes, when I cannot breath standing near someone - I actually tell them if you need that much cologne - YOU REALLY NEED To take a Shower ). . . :facepalm:

Okay - I'm done for the Day . . .

#1 I took my dog outside one last time before hitting the cushy rectangular slab, and I'm quite sure there's a skunk out there close to my house. The broccoli and fish I cooked tonight don't smell so bad in comparison. It was a stinky night. :blink:

Same here. I started smoking the same time "childhood" (adolescent) asthma declined. I could be wrong, but I think it was a coincidence of timing.
