Sick Bride :(

Oh gosh I am so sorry!!! that is my nightmare . BUT you still have 6 days! take your antibiotics, get LOTS of rest, and take vitamins or drink smoothies with vitamins and immune in them to try and get yourself back up to feeling better. I have had bronchitis two times and I know it's horrible but hang in there! as long as you just really rest and take your medicine you should be feeling at least better! You'll still probably have a cough on your wedding day but will be feeling lots better!!! try not to worry!!! you will still have a beautiful day!

Aww,, how sweet of him:-) Feel better boo!!!

Yikes! Each case is different, but I just finally got over a case of bronchitis (mixed with a sinus infection) that took three weeks to clear. Get lots of rest, inhale steam, TAKE YOUR MEDS, and just cough up as much crap as you can. Hope you feel better soon!

That's my worst fear. I'm getting married on the 21st and everyone at work has the flu!!

Go to your doctor and ask for an inhaler. I had bronchitis once for weeks, and they finally gave me steroids and two different kinds of inhalers and I was fine in about 3 days.

So sorry to hear this! Sadly I get bronchitis often, as I have asthma. The only thing that really helps is lots of rest, stay hydrated, avoid dairy-it will add to the congestion/mucus build up. You can try taking hot showers or just running super hot water and steaming up the bathroom, and breathe in the steamy air. I've never tried it, but Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of the feet is supossed to work wonders. And then there are inhalers and steroids they can give you to help too. Hope you feel better soon!!

Vicks vapor rub anywhere works wonders too!! I'm with Jenn. Bottom of the feet, chest area, and directly under your nose, works some amazing wonders. Then go hang out in your bathroom and steam it up with a hot shower. That helped me IMMENSELY with bronchitis a couple years back. And of course, tons and tons of sleep. Sending good thoughts your way!

Get better soon, dear!! I'm crossing my fingers that you're back to your best by your big day!

Meds. Rest. Get an inhaler. Fluids. Rest. Spicy food ( no, really).

Feel better!!!!

I had pneumonia my first wedding, I never made it to my rehearsal as I was in the ER getting antibiotics, I had a heck of a time with photos because each time the flash went off my eyes watered so was constantly fixing makeup. REST, FLUIDS, take meds and hang on for the ride darling it will all be ok sick or not you will make it through your big day and all will workout.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.. Keep us posted!!

Thanks all for the awesome advice

Take your antibiotics! This is the only sickness that will force me to take antibiotics otherwise it could turn into pneumonia and you don't want that. Rest, liquids, vaporizer. Feel better! You have time to get over it just take good care of yourself.

Yes on the inhaler also! I just remembered that when I read the other post.

If you don't have a prescription for prednisone, get one now! It will work wonders, trust me. I get bronchitis often due to asthma, and when it gets really bad, the steroids are what saves me (I'm a semi-professional singer, so I know what it is like to "not be able to be sick"). Sounds like you already have the antibiotics, inhalers, and an awesome fiancée who is taking good care of you, which is also good.

I'm surprised so many people are saying take your antibiotics. Antibiotics treat bacterial infections, which is usually gone by the time bronchitis sets in. But I have to agree, if you're doctor gave them to you, use them up!

My advice is definitely to rest up as much as possible and also KNOW YOUR MEDS and their side effects. When I had bronchitis they gave me a narcotic cough syrup and I guess it worked well and cleared it up mostly within a week but when I took it I was completely out for hours, whether I wanted to sleep or not. Lol.

Good luck. Really hope you get to feeling better!!!
