How do you cure chest congestion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Over the counter expectorant cough medicines can be effective. Try the ones with Guaifenesin as an ingredient, which loosens congestion, allowing secretions to be more easily cleared from your lungs and bronchial tubes. Take deep breaths to aerate your lungs. Cold air humidifiers can also be helpful. Drink plenty of fluids, consider Vitamin C supplements if you are not getting good nutrition from your diet of fruits and vegetables. Avoid dairy products.

If the cough persists or you get a fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit, dizziness, shortness of breath or chest pain, contact a medical professional without delay for advice.

Be sure to cover your mouth when you cough, using a tissue, not your hand. If you do not have a tissue, cough into the "crook" of your elbow held closely to your body to catch the germs.

Do not smoke. Stay home from work or school and don't go into public except to seek medical advice or medications.

See below in the related question area for more information on protecting yourself and others from spreading germs.

Why would doctors ask a patient who has asthma to write down the times and places that they had asthma attack?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Doctors do this because asthmatics tend to have 'triggers' that cause asthma attacks. These triggers can be pet dander, dust, pollen, cold air, chemicals, or many other inhaled particles. Stress and other events can bring on an attack as well. Many people with asthma are allergic to something and develop asthma through this allergy, however, triggers are not always that specific allergen. The doctors are merely trying to determine what your triggers are, and if you might be allergic to something.

Asthma is a breathing problem, not a skin problem.
