A: Bronchitis sucks, I’m just getting over it myself. Usually it takes about 2 weeks until I’m all the way better, no coughing up mucas and able to lay down without feeling like I have to sit up and choke. Taking hot showers is good for helping the mucas come out, but there’s really not to much you can do. You may just take Vitamin C, and Garlic. IT’s not publicized very much, but garlic is the most powerful antioxidant out there, and could possibly help it go away faster. Bronchitis is wicked stuff, and it makes sure you know it’s the boss before you get over it.
