Problem: Article: If you've been using natural treatments but they aren't working, your doctor may offer you other options. Talk to your doctor about which treatments are right for you. Then, take your medication exactly as directed. Your doctor may prescribe you a cough suppressant to help you sleep. If you're having trouble breathing, an inhaler may help open your airways. Your doctor may give you medication to treat an underlying condition, like allergies. Your doctor may offer you breathing treatments if you're having trouble breathing. While it's rare, your doctor may give you an antibiotic if your tests show you have a bacterial infection. Typically, bronchitis is caused by a virus.
Summary: Consider using medical treatments for severe symptoms.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many sites provide background searches either cheaply or for free. Keep in mind, though, that internet searches might return inaccurate or outright false information. Make sure to verify all the information you find. When using a search engine, put quotation marks around the name of the person you're researching. This ensures that the engine looks for the entire name instead of breaking it up. You want "John Smith," not "John Brown" and "Jim Smith." Include extra identifying information to make sure you find the right person: "Bill Gates" Microsoft. Information about arrests, convictions, and incarcerations is part of the public record. You can often access relevant documents through governmental websites for courts and police departments. Note that while many counties provide online databases, some still store public records in hard copy. If you can't find records online, contact the county courthouse to find out how to get access the public archives. You may have to pay a small fee to make photocopies of the documents you want to take with you. Remember to search documents in all states where your subject has lived, and to search county and city websites as well. If you rely on public records for your research, you'll have to invest a great deal of time to get a complete background picture. Even checking the courts in every county where the subject has ever lived isn't enough! You also have to look at every county where he's potentially had a run-in with the law even if he's never lived there! This can be time consuming and difficult. Many records (credit reports, school records, military records, etc. ) are off limits without the subject's permission. To get such information, you might try asking the person you're researching to provide it. While nobody has to give you access to their records, you can take a refusal into consideration when making decisions. For example, if you're considering a potential new roommate, you want to make sure they pay bills on time. Ask for a copy of his or her credit report before making your decision. If the person doesn't provide the information you need, you can choose not to move forward with the arrangement. Private citizens can hire any legal service to run a background check. Search the internet for "background check service" to find local companies in your area. Research the company well before contracting its services to make sure it's a reliable, reputable firm not a scam. Read online reviews to see whether customers are generally satisfied with their results. Private companies and citizens can't access all the records law enforcement agencies can. As such, the information gathered by private agencies may not be as reliable. Beware of scam artists! Don't do business with companies that charge too much below or above the industry standard. Compare prices with other companies in the area who provide similar services.

SUMMARY: Start with an online search. Search the public records. Be willing to put in the work. Ask for information directly from the person. Hire a professional.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In your workplace, you may have many commitments besides the ones that pertain to your current high volume project. Take some time and evaluate these commitments. Do they pertain specifically to your job description? Is there a coworker who is more qualified to deal with them? Get permission to eliminate commitments that aren't necessarily your job. Tell your boss that tasks outside of the specific workload are taking away from your productivity, and your boss may be willing to let you give them to someone else. Return work to coworkers that you took as a favor if you have recently taken on a high volume workload. When you have a high volume workload, you have to stop taking other people's responsibilities. Make a time log for recording how much time you spend on a typical portion of your workload. Once you have established how long you're taking, you can take action to reduce that time. You can also use this time frame for building a more effective daily schedule. It might be helpful to build a spreadsheet of how long it takes for each project so that the data can be automatically generated into whatever type of visual helps you besta line chart, a graph, etc. Make rows for each project name, duration, and start and stop time. You can even make a row for interruptions and include those start and stop times. Once you have charted your daily work experience, you will have a visual guide for where you can stop doing things that detract from your work flow. For example, you can turn off email notifications so that you aren't chasing emails on demand, but rather set aside blocks of time for emailing. You can do the same for phone calls by turning off the ringer and situating the phone where you can't see missed alerts. Turn off alerts for social media and any other apps on both phone and computer. Prevent coworkers from approaching your workspace by putting up a "do not disturb" sign at times when you need uninterrupted focus. No one can avoid being interrupted in a busy workplace. Instead of shutting your door and telling no one to talk to you all day, schedule times in the day that you are willing be to be interrupted. For example, if you're a professor, advertising "office hours" means you are allowing students to interrupt you whenever they need help. You can use the activity log you created to show you what time of day you are most likely to be needed by coworkers, and plan your interruption window for that time. You can announce to coworkers when you are available by emailing them or posting a sign in your workspace. Keeping your work area organized is not only good for eliminating things that distract you, but it's good for setting the tone for an efficient day of work. If the documents you need are buried in a pile, you lose time searching. Keep everything you need in a specific place so that you can move quickly. Try keeping a small filing cabinet at your desk and creating folder tabs so that you can quickly organize paperwork when it hits your desk. Get a big desk calendar and keep it on your desk so that you can quickly pencil in meetings and important deadlines. Take 30 minutes each morning and plan out your day, including making a list of the most important tasks in order of deadline. Adjust this list throughout the day so that you are continuously tackling the most important tasks first, even if new tasks arrive on your desk throughout the day. For example, if you work in customer service, you may have irate customers calling and emailing even though your boss has you working on a long-term document. You should pause on the document to address the concerns of the customers first. Update your list so that you don't get off track.
Summary:
Decide which commitments are unnecessary. See how much time you spend on each project. Eliminate workspace distractions. Schedule time for interruptions. Organize your work area. Prioritize tasks by deadline.
