when I have bronchitis/asthma? I went to a doctor yesterday that seemed pretty sure I had bronchitis. He prescribed Zithromax (very powerful and supposedly fast-acting) and 20 hours after taking the first pill I'm not feeling any better. I got a total of 6 hours of sleep in the past few days because I keep getting asthma attacks and my lungs are clogged with mucus. I've been coughing every 5 seconds but nothing is breaking up in my chest. I have a very deep rattling noise when I breathe and it gets worse when I lay down. I think my asthma has calmed down a bit after taking doses of albuterol every 4-6 hours. I was wondering if there is something I can do to clear the mucus out of my chest because I won't sleep until I do. Thanks.

I find a few puffs of ventolin and exercising (running) helps a treat!

I have Asthma since one month. It is allergic origin. I am taking Asthaline inhaler . It feels good after that. I took antibiotic Azithromycin. So i feel after you finish the antibiotic course you will feel better. you must take inhaler and feel far better . it is sure. After Allopathic medicine some body has suggested an effective Homeopathy medicine. i will take after the is course finished. you take ginger tea.with honey. It is good.

In addition to increasing the amount water you drink you might also want to try an expectorant like Mucinex (Guaifenicen). Both of these should help loosen the mucus in your lungs and enable you to cough it out.
