My wife has been dealing with Bronchitis, and it's been tough for her, especially with those long, sleepless nights from all the coughing. I'm not quite sure, but I suspect it's the acute type. I really want to get it completely sorted out. Could you help us figure out what the best steps might be?

Is coffee good for lungs?

From limited research done, coffee consumption was associated with some positive effects on the respiratory system. Few small studies have shown coffee was associated with reduction of asthma and coffee with natural honey was effective for persistent post-infectious cough. There was however limited available evidence to establish its effects.

I've been experiencing this weird feeling during intense exercise, like when I'm cycling over 20km or running more than 5km. It feels like my lungs are filling up with some fluid, and I have trouble breathing. But if I take a break, it all clears up. Should I be worried about this? Is there something I should be doing differently?
