    Angry Really Bad Chesty Cough

    Hello All,

    I'm really worried about my mum at the moment she has a very bad cough which hurts her chest. She has just gone to bed now and just couldn't stop coughing and (don't want to sound gross) and bringing up flem.

    I plan on making an appointment for the doctor tomorrow but in the mean time I was wondering if anyone knows anything that might sooth the chest and help the cough?

    Any help would be greatfull



    P.s I think it might be a form of Bronchitis

    Ya know, I just read abut something to help a bad cough and soothe the chest.

    The exact article says:
    When we two sons are congested, Lauren Feder, M.D. Places an onion pouch near their beds at night to soothe their stuffiness. She chops an ordinary onion, then puts about 1 cup ionto a clean sock, toes it closed and leaves it on the boys nightstand. " Inhaling onion's potent antibacterial vapors kills congenstion-causing microbes and helps break up mucus. To weaken the scent for sensitive noses, saaute the onions for 2 minutes in water before hand. This dilutes the odor but provides the same great benefits."

    Compliments of First magazine.

    Equal part honey, whiskey and lemon juice. Take by the tablespoon.

    She needs a chest xray to rule out pneumonia. I've been seeing a lot of cases recently.
