I also started a new asthma inhaler and got an increase on my new nebulizer meds. Â I also am taking steamy showers with eucalyptus oil, at least once a day.
Unfortunately,  my husband now is feeling sicker, and he has been running around doing errands etc.  I can barely walk without getting winded.  If he gets sick again, I just don't know what we will do.
Oh and PS, I got the pneumonia vaccine in September so I am current. Â The dr now thinks it is viral vs bacterial.
Hi Shayna,
I pray you are doin' better today.
I was thinking back about remedies my grandmother use to use on us when we were kids. I remember that she use to rub our chest and back with Vicks Vapo Rub. Also for coughing, she would give us honey and lemon. It might be worth a try. Sometimes the old and most simple ways do the trick. Besides, the honey w/ lemon tasted pretty good.
Wishing you a quick recovery.
