The brightest sign, of course a terrible cough. I, in order to get rid of him, took the syrup-Orvis Broncho Timyan. And so, in general, the treatment was built on lime tea, tinctures with honey and garlic and vodka compresses (in those moments when there was no temperature). Thanks to all this, bronchitis and passed ... there was no complications, which is especially pleased)
