go get some Reiki done and see if that helps.... also Cranial Sacral is really good for your nose drip because it actually moves the bones in your head to help oxygen and blood move more freely.... i would also say get some Acupressure done, it will help balance out your Chi and get you feeling better.... Also when i get like that i drink hot green tea with 2 menthol coughdrops and a bit of sugar or honey!!!! the heat will clear your sinuses and the tea and coughdrops will calm your throat!! it works for me every time, i promice :) good luck!!!

I would guess that you did a lot of coughing when you had the bronchitis originally and pulled some muscles from all that coughing. Now you are sore from it. Give it a few weeks to improve.

Steam inhalation & some breathing exercises will solve your problem. If you are a smoker stop it. Avoid contact with cigarette smokers.

Usually not at all. The doctor does not have the magic cure contrairy to popular belief. Only go if you have a persistant cough for 5-7 days, fever of 102 or higher for 24hrs, or you see spots in your throat or have difficulty breathing

You don't. It has to run its course. It's a virus, so no medications will really work to "cure" it. Maybe they'll someday invent something to kill viruses, but for now, you have to put up with it and try not to get sick in the first place. (I hope you feel better soon!)

Well. I was Diagnosed with acute sinusitus and they gave me the 5 day anti-biotic along with a cough suppressant and a decongestant.  I first got the infection in January.  It felt like it was starting to go away, but it came right back.  It's June and I still have it.  I just want it to go away!!

Sounds like you are just coughing so long that you gag yourself into finally throwing up.\nMaybe you need an antibiotic or just cough syrup to get that mucus (phlegm) up.\nAcid Reflux is a good possibility as well. Throwing up daily is not a good sign. If the cough syrup (DM) doesn't work, make an appointment with a doctor.

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

Usually it is due to throat irritation, especially if it was from a sore throat first. Normally the mucosa of the throat should be moist, but because of some infection, the throat becomes somewhat dry, thus more sensitive, shown as a dry cough, usually frequent dry cough. \nYou can try sipping water frequently, some times this can help. You can also try OTC drugs containing Dextrometrophan, which is a cough supressant, indicated for dry coughs. If it still doesn't get better, codein is a stronger cough supresant, but you will need a doctor's prescription for this.\nHope you get well soon!

I know you don't want to hear this, but talk to your doctor about. Ask why it keeps recurring. If he does not provide a suitable answer, ask for a referral to a specialist who can.

Seems as if you're immune system needs a little lift. try Airborne, its a tablet you submerge into liquid and drink. It contains vitamins and minerals to help your body fight off colds. You can try buying vitamins, or go see a doctor.

I was diagnosed with COPD ten yrs ago and here I am, lol.  I am not going anywhere till I say so  LMAO.  But really, it depends on how bad it is not how you got it.  Take your meds like you supposed to stop smoking if you do and keep from getting a cold or sinus infections.  good luck

I just got over this stuff that is going around. My doctor said Musinex which is over the counter. It is a pill and helps with loosening phlem. Also, taking hot showers, using steam of any sort can help loosen the chest problems. There are also over the counter cough medicines that the pharmacist can recommend to help as well. If you are running a temperature or have green or yellow phlem, you need to definitely see your doctor for it is indicative of an infection. The "crud" that seems to be running around the US takes about three weeks or a month to get rid of totally. Hope you feel better soon. Oh, one more thing, put some Vicks on your chest also and drink lots of water or fruit juice. Don't smoke and get plenty of rest!
