A couple of weeks ago I had a nagging cough. I couldnt even sleep. I coughed so much though it felt like a dry raspy cough the coughing made me throw up. Whats weird is that I threw up clear water. All I ate that day was a sandwich (same as the day before without a problem) and there was absolutely no food particles in the vomitus. Finally I slept and in the morning checked the garbage, again it was just clear liquid but my chest felt wonderful. No longer heavy, no more short of breath. Felt so good to be able to take a deep breath.
There is a old country remedy I always use when I get the heavy chest congestion from a cold/flu. Scald a cup of milk with 1-2 cloves of crushed fresh garlic, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter (not margarine) in it. Let cool just enough that you could drink it but still hot. Sounds awful, I know, but you cant taste it anyway.
I swear by that. I had legionnaires pneumonia once, 10 days in hospital on IV abx with no improvement. Even my doctor friends came to visit me because they thought I wouldnt make it. Mom brought me this concoction in the hospital, I drank it and the next day started to improve, discharged the day after that.
