Hi Michelle...I want to tell you that it sounds like what happens to me..but I found a way to back it off! My sinus's start draining down my throat (sore throat) I grab for my mucas relief..because it thins the mucas in the throat. Then I start getting the cycle again...Bronchitis! To stop it I take my Mucas relief 3x a day! Then when I suspect its getting in my lungs I get on my nebulizer 3-4 x a day! This helps chase the bronkitis away! If my mucas is brown or green I need a antibotic! I can pretty well control it now..I use to get it every month like you! Janet127

Hi Michelle, I am in a SIMILAR situation to you. Have had lots of bronchitis which needs antibiotics but then make sure I take biotics a lot at the end of the course. Use orange rind oil to try to make sure it is less likely to become infection, capsules, . I find potassium tablets help me to get rid of the wheeze/cough/breathlessness.

With asthma there is always something going on. I am fighting my fourth round of inner ear infection. What ever the infection is when I take antibiotics I get a yeast infection so I have to take a prescription medication off the shelf don't work. Sometimes I also get a shot of steroids. It usually takes all three but I'm hoping the two will do it. I am absolutely afraid of going to a place where there a people. With having an infection already. Keep taking care of yourself the group understands were in the same boat but it's great to be alive. Rember we are only a post away.
