Drink over nine glasses of water every day. When you have bronchitis, your body needs more water to moisten your airway passages. This will help you cough up any debris or pathogens prolonging the inflammation of respiratory passages. It is also beneficial to drink two glasses of water before bedtime to make sure you effectively cough out unwanted secretions when you wake up.

Use an ultraviolet antibacterial humidifier. A humidifier can increase the air moisture in your room while eliminating microorganisms, enabling you to breathe better and recover faster. You can find an affordable UV antibacterial humidifier at most department stores.

Avoid alcoholic consumption. Alcoholic beverages decreases your body's water content, thereby thickening mucous production and disabling your cough mechanism. Alcohol will slow down your recovery time. Drink juices or water instead.
