There's a brand called Ocean, which has buffering as well as salt. Depending on the way you turn the bottle, it goes from spray to drip to flow. I never knew a kid who would put up with the "flow" at all. But Ocean gets expensive if you want to use 1/4 cup of liquid per nostril.
I actually developed a fever this morning. Mr. Wolf brought you home a neti pot? What a nice guy!
Or just plain ol' lemon and honey. Honey is an expectorant, lemon is... something good.
don't use chamomile or mint, they irritate bronchial tract!
These suggestions can help make you more comfortable, speed recovery and prevent complications of acute bronchitis:
* Get plenty of rest.
* Drink lots of fluids.
* Use a humidifier in your room. Warm, moist air helps relieve coughs and loosens mucus in your airways. But be sure to clean the humidifier according to the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid the growth of bacteria and fungi in the water container.
* Take a nonprescription cough medicine. It's best not to suppress a cough that brings up mucus, however, because coughing helps remove irritants from your lungs and air passages. If your cough is keeping you awake at night, use just enough cough medicine so that you can rest, but not enough to suppress your cough completely.
* Avoid irritants to your airways, such as tobacco smoke.
* Wear a mask when the air is polluted, or if you're exposed to irritants at work.
I'll be back.
