    Well no Big health problems here but just I am looking for a natural way to feel better


    heres whats goin on
    I am coughing, make that barking all the time and my nose is stuffy as hell and all quishy and io can blow it all the fucking time and it doesnt help

    I tried coke for the first time this weekend but I dont think that it really has much to do with the way I feel now..anyways I tried some flonase and I really dont want to keep using it...

    I dont know if this is a sinus infection ('cause everyhting that comes up is yellowy and gross or kinda pinkish w/ a tiny bit of blood) so are there any NATURAL ways to feel better?

    seriously..all natural..I had some oatmeal wiht maple syrup and brown sugar and that is about the only thing that has helped...I know chiken noodle soup but other then that I have no clue

    Thanks so so much

    How long have you had the symptoms? Usually discolored not--i.e. brown, yellow, bloody, green, etc.--means infection. Try drinking *lots* of water, tea, etc...hot shower will help clear the stuff out. Anything lasting longer than 10-14 days, though, you might need antibiotics.

    Lots of fresh fruits and veggies, nice hot teas and baths and plenty of rest.

    Yep, as others have said - you need to keep the fluids flowing! I don't like the sound of the blood though, I'd personally get checked out but then I do worry :rolleyes: Honey and Lemon is a great drink for colds and zinc is good for fighting infection. I'm also a big fan of sleep :D

    Get well soon!!!

    Ah, yes...bronchitis is the only thing I ever really have had to go to the doctor for. Hope you're feeling better soon! Even though you've got prescription medicine now, I would definitely still be eating and drinking healthy like everyone has recommended to get you back to better as soon as possible. :)

    get a juicer
    get some oranges, carrots, broccoli and most importantly ginger and juice them up. the ginger will make your mouth and throat feel hot, damn hot but you'll find it helps and clears the infection quicker
