What over-the-counter medicine for bronchitis cough?

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.

You might have a severe lung infection that is causing you difficulty in breathing. This infection is indicated by a high fever, headache, coughing, and chest pains. If for a few minutes, you cannot breathe, it can be dangerous. Therefore, you should immediately consult a physician so that they may help make you feel better and ensure that you can breathe well.

Weldon sir/ma, I am issues with breathing and sometimes too I have chest pain, sometimes when I stand. I was told to do an x-ray to figure it out but the test results came out anf everything seemed normal, but I am still having issues.

Male | 15

You reporte­d breathing difficulties, chest discomfort whe­n standing, despite normal X-ray results. This could indicate­ asthma, anxiety, or acid reflux issues. I advise­ discussing additional testing with your doctor, such as lung function evaluation or ele­ctrocardiogram (ECG). These further e­xaminations may provide insight into the underlying cause­, allowing appropriate treatment.

i am a 16 year old female. i suffer from breathing difficulties that only occur at night. it has been happening the past couple of nights. i vape. i possibly have anxiety.

Female | 16

In case you vape and feel nervous, this might be the thing that is exacerbating your distress. Vaping injures the lungs and causes breathing problems. Anxiety may also bring about a rare situation where one finds it hard to breathe. As an alternative try to keep away from as often as possible and have deep breath exercises to calm anxiety or chat with someone. If it keeps up make sure you obtain help from a healthcare professional.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?

Kişi | 30

Short breath in the air tube­s can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The­ meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, le­setrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the­ air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself like­ly won't impact your issue or how well the me­ds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

Male | 24

A wet cough that keeps on going for a long time can be a sign of various other underlying ailments such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma. It is recommended to visit a doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and offer you the right treatment. If the symptoms are serious or continue too long, it may be best to see a pulmonologist.
