Don't take anything for the cough itself. By doing so you can build either a tolerance for the drug you are using or worsen the cough itself. Remember a cough is part of the bodies natural defense system. If the cough is persistent past a couple more days talk with a doctor.

A dry hacking cough usually is the result of a post nasal drip stimulating your cough reflex try an antihistamine.

coughs are a result of mucus sliding on your throat and entering the wind pipe.........they can be as a result of bacteria or smoking
If you do smoke then stop! it a good accelerator of dry and heavy cough and if not then try to take alot of lemon mixed in warm water and honey.
lemon dilutes the mucus
goodluck

Bronchitis or Pneumonia
Get to a doctor IMMEDIATELY!!! Antibiotics & Prescription Cough Syrup
Trust me on this one. YOU don't ever want to have either one.

Go with the old timers remedy..... Mix honey with lemon juice and take 2-4 teaspoons full every four hours. The honey will coat and soothe your throat and the lemon juice will kill any bad bacteria.

IF I WERE YOU, YOU HAVE TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, EAT FRUITS WHICH IS VERY RICH IN VITAMIN C LIKE ORANGES, LEMON AND CALAMANSI (CALAMANSI JUICE)BEFORE I FORGET, AVOID EATING SWEETS, TAKING SWEET TO EASE YOUR COUGH...
