Bronchial cough - how to recognize sick bronchi?

• subacute - lasts up to 8 weeks,

According to the duration of the symptoms, possible causes of bronchitis can be attributed. Acute inflammation is most often caused by viruses, subacute inflammation is caused by bronchial hyperreactivity after inflammation, while chronic inflammation is a consequence of the influence of factors irritating the exhaust system - such as smoking. Bronchial cough is the main symptom and ailment - however, natural home treatments will definitely help. It is worth reducing the symptoms, however, using not only methods for bronchitis - home remedies for laryngitis, home remedies for cough or home remedies for angina will be equally effective.

Hydration of the body

It is the primary treatment of ailments that must be applied to all bronchitis. Remember that a large amount of fluids will thin the mucus, so it will facilitate expectoration. Drink at least 4 glasses of warm liquid (like tea) or natural, still water every day. Of course, avoid alcohol and coffee during this time - they are diuretics, so the body can lose water through them.

Drinking milk will be just as effective! This is a good option, especially for a child's bronchitis. A glass of milk drunk each day will reduce the risk of chronic bronchitis. The method is also recommended for smokers who want to quit the addiction.

 Air humidification and home inhalation

Home remedies for bronchitis also include proper air humidification. You can buy a humidifier for this purpose or put a wet towel on the radiator - thanks to it, a lot of water vapor will get into the respiratory tract without escaping into the atmosphere. A nebulizer is better for children - it is easier and more effective (especially for babies).

When it comes to home inhalations, diseased bronchi can be treated by pouring hot water into a vessel and adding essential oils to it. Then lean over it and inhale the escaping vapors for about 15 minutes. The best herbal oils are:

• mint,
• rosemary,
• eucalyptus,
• anise,
• pine.

You can also use saline in combination with hyaluronic acid - they moisturize the mucosa of the respiratory tract. Inhalations are also excellent home remedies for coughing and, not worse, home remedies for laryngitis. Unfortunately, not everyone tolerates these methods well - especially children. For them, it will be best to buy aromatic patches, because they do not irritate children's airways so much.
