My herbalist suggested mint and elder tea. And eat as much raw garlic as you can. Hope that helps.
Licorice (can't spell it) is said to be good for lungs.
Lungwort, that must have some connection but I've never heard of it as a tea.
Just don't put your Manuka in a hot drink as it destroys the activity or antibiotic properties - so I've read on the reviews.
Nothing wrong in becoming a health freak, we need to be proactive to be as healthy as possible 
It's the peroxide activity possessed by all honey that is destroyed by heat.
Genuine (UMF) Manuka honey also has antimicrobial activity that is NOT destroyed by heat.

Green tea for antioxidants. Ginger tea for settling tummy. Camomile for calming.
Gaelic coffee for fun

I vaguely remember (and I am very vague in this heat) something about lungs and liquorice and meds having a bad interaction. Also ferrous sulphate cannot be taken with tea.
Anyone clever out there who is not prostrated by the heat and is not snuggled up with two fans (mechanical) and can do some further checking?
Dozy x hot bothered and bewildered
I've also heard somewhere the same,liquorice and poorly lungs don't go together.?????

'Licorice has been shown to reduce the clearance of prednisone from the body of test animals. If this occurs with people, it will result in lengthening and possible strengthening of the drug's activity, as well as a possible increase in side effects.'
Lungwort, Mullein & Yarrow according to my Bartrams Herbal book, I drink this with manuka honey in it and it helps. mullein is good on its own as well.
