Most cases of acute bronchitis are caused by a viral infection, and antibiotics won't help. Treatment usually consists of the relief of symptoms. Aspirin, acetaminophin, or ibuprophin will help with fever and muscle aches. An over the counter cough suppressant may be helpful. Drink plenty of liquids, because fever will cause you to be dehydrated. Also, fluids will help thin secretions, allowing you to cough them up more easily.

In addition to aloe vera, the "old-time" recipe used vinegar which by the way is ascetic acid and will kill any bacteria and it's sootheing if you don't mind smelling like a salad.  Ibuprophen and asprin (I'm in favor of asprin myself) will definitely reduce the fever in the area.  Take both with food to prevent irritation of your stomach.  You could take two tylenol and two asprin every 4-6 hrs. at the same time and drink a glass of iced tea.  The cafeine will also help increase the medications ability to decrease pain.  No hot baths and lots of water and rest.  Loose clothing too.  Hope you feel better.

Only rest and patience seems to help. Despite some doctors will provide antibiotics, it doesn't always help since the common cold is usually a virus. Drink a lot of water to keep from getting dehydrated and it help flush your body. Good Luck.

Don't scrat them, use calamine lotion or epson salt baths to help w/ itching, try pressing down on them instead of scratching to help settle the scrating urge, take tylenol for fever, rest and they should be gone in 7 days or so.

the best home remedy for fevers is tylenol. i just had that flu just so you know right as you start to feel like its over, its going to mutate into a stomach bug. but the best remedy for what your feeling right now go to the drugstore, buy robitussin (not the store brand) and tylenol (not the store brand) take the maximum dose of the tussin which is about 3.5 tablespoons with two 650 mg tylenol pills. that will take care of your fever and aching and probably knock your a ss out.

1. Vitamin C Works Wonders \nVitamin C works in the body as a scavenger picking up all sorts of trash — including virus trash. It can shorten the length of a cold from seven days to maybe two or three days. Vitamin C may also cut back on coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms. In a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin, cold sufferers taking 500 milligrams of vitamin C four times a day suffered only half as many symptoms as those not taking the vitamin. Short-term use of such high doses shouldn't cause any side effects. But you should get your doctor's okay before starting any kind of supplement programme. Better yet, simply get your additional vitamin C by drinking it —orange, grapefruit, and cranberry juices are rich sources of vitamin C. \n2. The Power Of Zinc \nSucking on zinc lozenges can cut colds short, to an average of four days. Zinc can also dramatically reduce symptoms such as a dry irritated throat. It doesn't work for everyone, but when it works, it works. The down side is that zinc has an unpleasant taste. There are, however lozenges on the market that contain honey and/or citrus that are a lot easier to swallow. But do not take more than the amount recommended by your doctor. Zinc can be toxic in large doses. \n3. Bundle Up \nKeep bundled up against the cold. This keeps your immune system cosily focused on fighting your cold infection instead of displacing energy to protect you from the cold. \n4. Walk Your Cold Away \nMild exercise improves your circulation, helping your immune system circulate infection-fighting antibodies. Jump on a gentle rebounder indoors for 15 minutes or take a brisk half-hour walk. But refrain from strenuous exercise, which could wear you out. \n5. Feed A Cold \nThe very fact that you have a cold in the first place may point to your eating "too congesting a diet" that puts a strain on your body's metabolism. Counteract it by eating fewer fatty foods, meat and milk products, and more fresh fruit and vegetables. \n6. Chicken Soup For Your Cold \nA long-time folk remedy is now a proven fact; a cup of hot chicken soup can help unclog your nasal passages. Researchers at Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami Beach found that hot chicken soup, either because of its aroma or its taste, "appears to possess an additional substance for increasing the flow of nasal mucus." These secretions-what comes out when you blow your nose or sneeze- serve a first line of defence in removing germs from your system, the researchers say. \n7. Drown The Pests \nDrink six to eight glasses of water, juice, tea, and other mostly clear liquids daily. This will replace important fluids lost during a cold and help flush out impurities that may be preying on your system. \n8. Kick The Butt \nSmoking aggravates a throat that may already feel irritated from a cold. It also interferes with the infection-fighting activity of cilia, the microscopic "fingers" that sweep bacteria out of your lungs and throat. So if you can't kick the habit for good, at least do it while you've got a cold! \n9. Saline Relief \nRelieve an irritated throat by gargling morning, noon, and night-or whenever it hurts most. Fill a glass with warm water and mix in 1 teaspoon of salt. Take small sips and let it roll around as low in your throat as possible. \n10. Get Yourself In Some Hot Water \nTaking a steamy shower can help clear congestion. Or heat a teakettle or pot of water to boiling on your stove, turn off the flame, drape a towel in a tent over your head and the kettle, and inhale the steam until it subsides. This also relieves your cough by moistening your dry throat. \n11. Grease Your Way \nRelieve a raw nose by applying a lubricating layer of petroleum jelly around and slightly inside your nostrils with a cotton swab. \n12. Midnight Medicines \nNumerous medications for colds are available without a prescription. Some treat specific symptoms. Others contain a combination of drugs

I am one to always "cure" myself.  Lots of rest, liquids.  Make yourself eat something even it it's a bowl of broth or crackers.  Sweat out the fever.  Get into the shower.  You won't feel like it but it will make you feel better.  Get your vitamins like Zinc, Vitamin C.  Ginger Ale is all I can take when I'm sick.  It may take a good week to get over.  I just went through this a couple weeks ago---it lasted a good 5 days.

You can go to a doc.  and have it either frozen off or burned off.  In either case, that will hurt like hell at first, be uncomforatable for awhile, then feel better later.

Whatever ways you may try, please see a doctor if you have fever before embarking on any suggestions you may receive. To get rid of a cough fast, avoid cold drink and also things that will leave remnant along the lining of the throat, like groundnuts, messy fruit drinks like fresh orange(the fibre will stick on the lining of the throat which will make you cough).After every single cough, drink a gulp of water to smoothen the lining and push down whatever is causing the cough especially the phlem or mucus, if you cant spit it out. The phlems is the main thing that make the cough worst. If everytime you cough and there is mucus or phlem, try your best to spit it out.and immediately drink warm water.When you go to bed at night, standby a flask of warm water so that should you cough during sleep, get up and drink some warm water. It helps to bring down the coughing.Another important thing is never sleep with the fan switched on in front of you becos the wind can also make your cough worst., just turn the fan away from you if you need it on.As for the flu, as long as you dont have fever, it should go off in a weeks time, but if you are on medication, take them religiously if you want to get well soon.

No one can diagnose you without a physical exam and possibly some testing.  Please call your doctor first thing in the morning and make an  appointment.  Until then, take tylenol  or ibuprofen for the fever in addition to drinking a lot of fluids.

I've had chronic heartburn, and though I'm not a doctor, I'm sharing with you advice my doctor has given me (and what has worked!)\n\n1.  For immediate relief, use Maalox.  Avoid Pepto Bismol, as it has something that irritates the stomach long term (my gastroenterologist told me that!).  For longer term use, use Priolosec.\n\n2.  Stop eating at least 3 hours before you get in bed.  A reclining position with food in your stomach irritates the esophogus.  You would be AMAZED at how much this helps.  Soda or alcohol before sleep is the WORST!\n\n3.  Limit intake of:  Alcohol, Caffience, Carbonated beverages, spicy foods, acidic foods, aspirin (or advil, motrin).   Honestly, I can't stick to this one -- but I've been pretty good keeping #1 and #2, and it's kept my heart burn at bay.  Be good keeping 1 & 2 and you can cheat on 3 -- at least, that's worked for me.\n\nGood luck!
