BoironChestal Pellets for Cough and Mucus Relief, Nasal or Chest Congestion, and Sore Throat Relief - 2 Count (160 Pellets)

I've had a horrid flu that turned into bronchitis, and I've been suffering terribly with deep chest congestion because can't have Mucinex or other chest decongestants because they all have dextromethorphan...and I'm on antidepressants. Dextromethorphan + antidepressants = serotonin syndrome, which is awful at best and fatal at worst, soooo...hard pass. So I've just been dealing with it with chest rubs (stinky) and hot lemon ginger tea (delicious, but only marginally effective). It has sucked hardcore. I got winded and had to sit down after going up a flight of stairs. I can't sleep on my back because my chest feels like it's caving in. It's so bad for a minute I thought I had congestive heart failure going on or some ish.So clearly I got desperate enough to try something homeopathic.I do not know what is in this stuff, but I'm guessing some kind of witchcraft, because it is magic.The fit I had with chest pain and shortness of breath after climbing the stairs was on a trip up to get the package with this in it. So while I was sitting down catching my breath and feeling like death, I went ahead and gave these a try (after searching how to get them out, because wtf). Within minutes of putting them under my tongue my breathing had eased, my airways had cleared, and my chest pain relaxed quite a bit. I felt much better for the next hour...until I went to drink something and got that weird feeling like my throat tightening up and closing again. You're supposed to take these every hour, so I was like...okay, pop five more under my tongue.And I was fine again.I don't think these are a cure-all. They're not going to cure my bronchitis, but they're hopefully going to make it a lot easier to bear while I ride it out with rest and hydration. I'm coughing less, and when I do cough it's productive; I'm breathing easier and without as much pain or hollow rattling in my chest and throat. Crossing my fingers I can actually get some sleep tonight without violently coughing myself awake, thanks to these silly little pellets.I will say the fact that for the relief to last, you have to take them once an hour, is a little much. But, well...they taste good, so it's like sucking on a piece of candy once per hour. But that does mean that this package is only about a 2-3 day supply. So if you think you'll be sick longer than that, lay in stock.UPDATE:Six doses (so six hours) later, and the congestion that's been stuck in my chest without any productive movement for nearly a week now is draining into my sinuses and out my nose. My chest no longer feels like I have a lead weight sitting on it. Very minor coughing, though I still get out of breath with exertion. It's still an improvement, thank goodness.UPDATE 2:Switched to the syrup, same brand of stuff, about 24 hours after first trying the pellets. I was literally crying snot for several hours as the congestion vacated my body. WITCHCRAFT.

Ok

Unbelievable results! We have switch over to only using products from this company. I don’t know how they do it but every product we’ve used has worked so well for my entire family. The price is also very family friendly. I tell everyone I know to try Boiron. It actually works and works fast!

I think this helped

I had medication from the doctor that didn't work but I searched online and found out that this meds had good reviews. I have to say that I would recommend this meds to anyone.

Great product it works !!!!

My first purchase of Chestal. I bought it on recommendation from a friend. It's great stuff! Works better than lozenges, even better than the cough medication the doctor prescribed. Tastes a whole lot better too. I wish I had read the instructions on how to open and use the bottle, so do that! I wish it wasn't so expensive. All in all, a super great product!

This product did not work for me, I did not notice a difference
