10. Warm Fluids: Hydration for Healing
Staying hydrated is crucial in managing acute bronchitis. Warm fluids, in particular, can be very soothing and beneficial.
Warm fluids help keep the respiratory system hydrated. This is important for thinning mucus, making it easier to expel. Warmth can also soothe the throat and reduce coughing.
Herbal teas, warm water with lemon and honey, and broths are good choices. They provide hydration and warmth. This helps in reducing bronchitis symptoms.
It’s important to drink warm fluids regularly throughout the day. This helps maintain hydration and eases symptoms. There’s no set amount, but drinking at regular intervals is beneficial.
Ensure that the fluids are warm, not hot, to avoid burns. Choose caffeine-free options, as caffeine can lead to dehydration. (10)
