Has Tracheostomy, Suffers From Chronic Bronchitis. Suction Her Due To Bronchitis. Use Oreganol Oil. Can It Be Done By A Mouthcare Sponge Swabbing Inside Her Mouth?
My Mother is 85 has a tracheostomy and at thi time every year suffers from chronic bronchitis.She is being cared for at home .We suction her occasionally which has become more frequent due to the bronchitis.Dont want to over do the antibiotic route came accross a natural solution possibly in Oreganol oil. Can be taken orally 2 drops under tongue .Was thinking of mixing 1 drop with a cup and a 1/2 of water and using on a mouthcare sponge for swabbing inside her mouth so when she swallows any residual oreganol oil might sooth her throat.Do you think this sounds like a good course of action?

Hi, any how she is getting good relief with 2 drops sublingually, which go to the circulation, and giving relief. why to make it more cumbursome still wont be effective. Occassional antibiotic is also a must for her,to combat the posibility of the infections. And there are many ways to control the frequency of the infections.
So i advise you to consult a chest physician at regular intervals, when there is no infection also, to make her comfartable. Thank you.
