Your respiratory tract consists of nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and lungs. Bronchi are also known as bronchial tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. Bronchitis refers to the inflammation of the lining of the bronchi. It is divided into two forms; acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis tends to last from one to three weeks.

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I live in the country so I am not exposed to numerous people on a regular basis which contributes to the fact, “I do not usually get sick”. However, I heard a friend was sick and knew she lived alone. So I rushed to town filled a cart with Proteins, OJ, Kleenex, Cough Drops and Lysol in every form. Before leaving I insisted she let me change her linens while drawing her a hot bath of Eucalyptus and Epson Salt.
Well, that was all the exposure I needed……..within 24 hours my throat and ears ached when I spoke. By morning I began coughing and felt like I had been ran over by a bus, Then the worst headache I had ever experienced. My entire body was switching from feeling like my skin was on fire to freezing cold. I slept for a day and a half, only rising to shuffle to the restroom then back to bed. I have Never felt like that!
By Day 3 of Body aches and thinking my Headache was going to cause my head to burst, I headed to the ER.
Their diagnoses was Bronchitis ……Headache……Cough. They administered Tylenol and Ibuprofen. I ask the attending nurse if it would be acceptable for her to apply Lidocaine on my back and possibly my rib cage because I was in so much pain. She asked the doctor and came back with a Steroid shot of Decadron.
The following morning I felt 100 Percent better. But now my Husband has it! OMG!!! What is this crap and why does it hurt so freakin Bad?
I am not sure of the cause of COPD emphysema in my case. I smoked pack a day for 12 or 13 years, but quit 40 years ago. I have been an outdoor person all my adult life. Coughing started last summer producing thick mucus, greenish tint to clear. I tried prednisone and antibiotics, but no change. X-rays are negative, heart lungs and blood and serum chemistries all are normal. I have lung calcification from childhood bout with histoplasmosis. I am 75 years old and retired.My current doctor directed me to totalcureherbsfoundation.com which I purchase the COPD herbal remedies from them ,they are located in Johannesburg, the herbal treatment has effectively reduce all my symptoms totally, am waiting to complete the 15 weeks usage because they guaranteed me total cure.
I have had ASTHMA my whole life but about 7 years ago my asthma got so bad and was diagnosed of EMPHYSEMA/COPD which was most likely due to the asthma. I was on double antibiotics and steroids, still didn’t feel any better. My lungs were constantly wheezing in all four chambers, i already used Advair, Spiriva, and Albuterol in my nebulizer, they just didn’t do much. It was hell for me due to the severe difficulty breathing. My sister in-law told us about Rich Herbs Foundation where she ordered herbs that effectively treated her arthritis. We ordered their COPD TREATMENT after reading alot of positive reviews from other patients, i am happy to report the COPD TREATMENT was very effective for my lungs condition, every one of my symptoms including difficulty breathing, respiratory infections, chronic cough and wheezing has simply stopped. Visit ww w. richherbsfoundation. c om. I will be 52 soon and have never been healthier
