You are going to be dissapointed I had bronchitis for about 4 weeks this year, and let me tell you, when you have a bad cough, there is nothing that lasts through the night - natural or not. However, here is a natural cough syrup remedy. I can not say how well it performs.

-Boil a quart of water in a saucepan. -When it comes to a boil add 2 tablespoons of dried Elecampane root. -Turn down to a simmer and do so for 20 minutes.

-Add honey to taste. Honey heals and soothes as well. -Add a splash of lemon juice as well if you have it.

-Strain and drink your natural cough remedy. You might also try zinc lozenges during the day to help shorten the length of your overall cold. It will not help with symptoms, though.

I make my own Hot Toddy I don't know if this would be appropriate for you or not, but I make a hot toddy when I'm sick and it usually does the trick. Make a cup of tea (favorite flavor or brand). Make sure its very hot, almost to the point where its tough to drink.

Add 2 tablespoons of honey to a large mug. Pour tea into mug along with one ounce (a shot glass) of your favorite scotch. I've tried bourbon and whiskey as well.

You can add a drop of lemon if you prefer. Drink it down as quickly as possible WITHOUT hurting yourself. Bundle up in sweats and get under the blankets.

Sleep it away. More times than not, the next morning I feel much improved. If your under 21, I am in no way endorsing under age drinking.

Time Time is truly the only way to get rid of a cough and cold once you've had the full blown effects of it (there are over the counter remedies for as soon as you get that tickle that you know you'll be getting a cold). Because they are viruses, antibiotics will not help (so don't go to the doctor's asking for any). If your cough is at all productive, get an expectorant for the daytime.

There's also a good cough suppressant (guafenasin) that I use because my allergy medicine already has a decongestant in it. Coughs will last longer than the cold itself. However, if it gets really difficult to breathe (from the chest, not from your nose), then you may want to go to a doctor.

Pneumonia isn't fun (I should know). Other than that, you may very well have to take some kind of OTC medicine if you want to get rid of it naturally. But be cautious about trying to do it naturally- if you take any other prescription medications, then it could counteract the affects of the prescription, or the very worst, be a fatal combination.

I'm sorry that you're sick. Feel better soon! .

Gargle Not liking to use any OTC or prescription meds, I like to gargle with salt water or peroxide. That takes care of the scratchy/sore throat. Chewable natural vitamin C tablets are good.

For the stuffy nose, just inhale the fumes from a jar of Vicks vaporub. Got a fever, let it burn. It's the natural way for the body to burn out germs and infections.

Drink lots of ice water to clear your system. Well, that's the way to do it if you don't believe in doctors or drugs for the cure of a cold or flu. A naturalist..
