My son is suffering from Bronchitis right from his infancy, now he is five years old. He easily gets cough and vomits loads of phlegm (it sometimes gets more worse with fever). I consulted several chest specialists, tried changing his pediatricians, and even tried alternative medicine, but no remarkable change. Of course use of antibiotics does help, but it always comes back. I try covering him up always, and use some home remedies too, always wash his hands and keep surroundings clean. Is there a good cure for this? Any other preventions?

Might be diet related? An allergy to a certain food that might cause irritation and lots of mucus? I remember reading something about that. Milk? White flour, pasta, or rice? Sugar? Gluten? Is he drinking lots of water?

Yup, he definitely drinks lots of water, i make him drink. Its not diet related, rather its hereditary. Well, thanx 4 ur response.

Sure! His daily diet would involve Oatmeal/cereals/corn flakes/Pancakes for Breakfast, then a glass of milk with turmeric/honey/saffron. Then on I give him 1 glass of water for every 1-2 hours till he sleeps @ night(if @ school, I don't have an account of it). I guess it would make about 8 glasses of water. Lunch would include sandwich/rice/pulses/veggies/eggs/meat etc.., and dinner would include somewhat the same. The link you provided is helpful. Thanx 4 ur concern

previous, my son which still under five also have bronchitis. My parent suggest me to often drying my child under the morning sun ... In addition, must also often brought to the beach in the morning as a therapeutic treatment. I try to follow parents' advice, thank God, my son could be healed.
Please note, this therapy will be successful during the period of recuperation followed by much eating high-calorie and nutritious to increase his weight and give the fish oil

One of the things that my mother did for us when we were children to help us through a case of bronchitis is percussion on the back. She would start doing this on us from the time that we started to get congested. This prevented us from getting bronchitis several times because it wouldn't let the mucus fester in our lungs as it loosened it up and allowed us to expell in from our lungs so that we would not develop an infection.

Actually tried for vaccines, but was told that there aren't any available for bronchitis! Thanx 4 suggesting though.
