If you feel like you may need something to keep your throat lubricated to keep from coughing, try taking a lozenge. Zinc lozenges in particular have been found to help with symptoms of a cold if taken within 24 hours of first onset. Zinc lozenges have also shown to reduce the duration and severity of colds in healthy people. You can also look for a combination zinc and elderberry lozenge, as elderberry has been used throughout history to stimulate immunity and fight inflammation. Lozenges are not appropriate for children under the age of five as they can pose a choking hazard, but they’re fine for older kids, adolescents, and adults.

If you find yourself down with acute bronchitis, you can use any permutation of these home remedies to help soothe your symptoms as your body works its way through the infection. Get well soon!
