Chest congestion is a disease that can be cured by following simple easy to practise home remedies. There are millions of different types of colds that we can catch. However, most of the colds result in a painful feeling taking over our chests. This is known as chest congestion. The best way to describe what is going on in your body is that the mucus is becoming built up in your chest. This build up causes you to have discomfort in your chest and make it so that it is hard to breathe. You can also experience a difficult time in trying to cough up the mucus as well. Most people run out to purchase a remedy for this situation.

Causes

The most common cause of sinus and lung congestion is a cold or flu virus. Additionally, secondary bacterial infections that follow on the heels of colds and flus can be especially nasty, irritating the delicate lining in the respiratory tract. The mucus that causes the congestion is produced to protect that lining and wash away the infection.


Symptoms

Just when your child is getting over a cold or the flu, his temperature starts to climb and he begins to have coughing fits and spit up mucus. When you take him to the doctor, you're likely to hear one of those '-itis' words, which means something is inflamed.

In this case, the -itis is bronchitis, and it means inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the two large tubes that branch off the windpipe. Bronchitis can be caused by wayward bacteria from the throat or by the same virus that caused the initial cold or flu. As the lining of those tubes swells, mucus builds up. The heavy coughing is a sign that your child is trying to clear that mucus from his bronchial passages.

If the bronchitis is caused by bacteria, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic. If it's a viral infection, an antibiotic won't help, but there's a lot you can do to make your child more comfortable and maybe even get over it faster. Here are some home-remedy tactics that doctors recommend for both bacterial and viral bronchitis.
