Bronchitis

Millie Yee · Accepted Answer

Hello Mrs, In general, the symptoms of bronchitis are cough with or without secretions, fever often absent, fatigue, sore throat, etc. Unfortunately, pharmacists cannot make a diagnosis. However, I have some general recommendations for you. Here are some measures to relieve the symptoms: Pain, fever and headaches : Tylenol (maximum 4000 mg per day) Sore throat : gargle with water and salt (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 250 ml of water) Cough : drink water, take honey to soothe the throat Nasal secretions and congestion : Saline solution such as Sinus Rinse twice a day to clean the nose and to limit secretions from the throat Rest well and stay hydrated Wash your hands frequently If your cough persists for more than 3 weeks or your symptoms worsen significantly despite the measures mentioned in the next few weeks, I suggest to consult a physician for a more in-depth evaluation.
