Well if you have any faith in alternative remedies then try chinese herbs and phosperous (homea-pathic). also take a lot of vitamin C and drink warm water with honey and lemon. I promise this always helps me with chest infections. I barely ever have them. Health Question & Answer
Immune boosting herbs like Echinacea, Astragalus, Olive leaf extract and Reishi mushroom can be used. Echinacea is the most well researched of these herbs. A vitamin C supplement (minimum 250mg) can have a syngeristic effect with the Echinacea. As an adult, you will need a minimum of 400mg Echinacea daily as a preventative. Triple the dose for short periods if you feel a cold or the flu coming on.
You may find herbs like Coltsfoot, Marshmallow, Verbena and Thyme are useful for chest infections. Check at your health store for products with these herbs.
If the chest infection has started, maintain a high dose of echinacea with coltsfoot. also consider homeopathic remedies like Phosphorus and Kali muriaticum tissue salts.
A common home remedy used by certain Asian communities is a milk infusion boiled with ginger and tumeric. Apparently it works very well for a chest infection but I would advise caution. Milk has caesin which can increase mucus production.Health Question & Answer

There are herbal tinctures that work quite well to heal chest infections. Visit your local qualified naturopath or herbalist to have one prescribed. I really don't recommend just picking up various herbs when you don't really know what you are doing. Medicinal herbs are real medicine and if they are used improperly or while taking various medicines they can cause unpleasant effects or worse.
