• Flu turning into a chest cough

    Posted by naslam1603 on March 25, 2023 at 10:34 am
    Hi B.

    My flue which is getting worse since Tuesday is turning into a chesty cough as of today.

    I’ve had paracetamol, but not helping. Anything else, I can try apart from lemon?

    I’m concerned it might turn into a chest infection.

    Hey ,

    We do have a cough remedy you could try out here.

    If you are also experiencing a sour throat, I sometimes advise the next options to my clients:
    • Saltwater gargles with turmeric can help. Do this several times per day.
    • Perhaps this tip might not help you, but other members of the platform might benefit from this. ADP (emulsified oregano oil) can help with soar throats. You can suck on it like a lozenge. It’s spicy so keep it in your mouth as tolerated and do that throughout the day. 
    • If you can’t tolerate oregano oil, you could try silver hydrosol spray directly at the back of the throat. 

    Having the flu might also have some advantages. The immune system gets into action to fight pathogens. Even when the body is fighting off some infection, other dormant infections can be addressed.  

    I hope you can take some time off to let your body heal. 

    Get well soon!
