Yikes! That sounds pretty drastic! Not sure If I am that brave or sure it will work, since I have had this "junk" for awhile. The cough has been hanging on for 3 weeks, and the congestion for over a week. I have read about the ginger bath. Might give that a try.
By the way, I drink over 1/2 gallon (1.8 L) of water a day.
I believe that is considered alot.
Thank you so much for the suggestion, though. Maybe someone else can benefit. I will research a little more on it also.
