I think I might be getting an upper respritory infection what can I do at home...

Question

to help prevent it from getting worse? I don't really "feel" sick yet, but when I breath it sounds a little "raspy" in my chest. I was wondering if there was some type of home remedy or some herbal remedy to try?

Answer 1

nothing to fool with. that can jump RAPIDLY to pneumonia,so call your Dr for an earliest appointment

Answer 2

Drink alot of water and if your chest feels congested, try Robitussin OTC and that will help make it productive and you'll be able to cough it up.  

Answer 3

drink some nice hot pepermint tea and you can add  a little ginger powder in it too. also you can drink lime with honey just a little bit like 4 teaspoon its works for me. Lastly i rub my chest with rum and cover up in a warm blanket.
