It's been going on for about 1 week. I can take it, it keeps me up in the middle of the night. I don't have any more vacation days left so I can't go to the doctor. I need some homeade remedies.

nikki it's possible that you have sucked something into your lungs while eating or drinking something. This is called "aspiration pneumonia" this will cause lots of painful coughing also if foreign material remains in the lungs and becomes infected you would need antibiotics. This could be very serious. I have had this happen to me. I understand the no sick days,but one lost day to get doctors opinion and medication would be better than several days in hospital. Any fever? If so go!

I would go to the doctor but it could be caused by GI reflux try some "prilosec otc" for a few days to see if that helps
