I have had a very bad chest cold for about
two weeks. I was having trouble breathing
and was coughing and sneezing a lot. I
went to the doctor and was prescribed a z
pack of anti biotics. After the five days
I began to cough up a lot of mucus. Now
my left side and chest are very sore. I
coughed once and heard a popping sound,
then the pain got worse. Just wondering
what is going on. Thanks

Gross But It Helps Read Thouroghly Posted: 01-03-04 21:13pm
All I can say is drink alot of orange
juice oh yeah you can try this it is
really gross but my sister did it and it
helped her when she had a cold it is all
natural take some chicken skin with the
fat( you may have to buy a leg quarter for
this) and fry it without oil take the oil
it makes and put it in a glass then take
some honey and mix it and take a
tablespoon full it may make you throw up
but that is the point to loosen up the
phlegm off your chest and take the other
and make soup drink the broth it helps
too
good luck
swallowing

I am twenty six weeks pregnant and I have
been fighting the "chest cold" every since
I found out I was pregnant, once it turned
into bronchitis, but the doctors or not
doin nothing for me just letting it run
its course....Drink lots of soup, I did
and it works, mine just keeps coming back
a week later? So not sure honey. Sorry
as well I am extremely conjested inthe
mornings (headcold symtoms) but once I am
up and on the go it usually goes away...
Not sure what happen there?

I had the same cough and went on the z
pack. 7 days later I ended up in l&d
with preterm labor (i was 32 wks at the
time) come to find out the zpack did
nothing, I had pneumonia and ended up on
augmentin. It took about 7 days of that
before I started feeling better. Please
see the Dr. Again. Maybe you need more
antiobiotics. I am not a big meds person
but pneumonia is a pretty serious thing.

A very natural remedy that works extremely
well is to put really hot water in a cup.
Put two tablespoons of honey in the water.
Mix very well and then squirt two squirts
of lemon juice and mix it all together.
Drink that 2 or more times a day. It
should work really well.
