Is there anything out there to cure coughing and sore throat?

Question

I have tried drinking a lot of vitamin C, it helps the sore throat but the coughing won't stop. This happens to me almost every year. This year, it's so bad that when I choke on water I can't breath when coughing and then tears stream out from my eyes. And when I find something funny, I start coughing for half a minute or so. Is this a throat problem that can be cured?
But I don't have any problems when talking or singing.

any professional advice is graciously appreciated.

Answer 1

It sounds like you have a form of asthma.
Bronchospasms induced by stress... coughing is a good indicator of this.
This is a throat problem that can be cured.
Go in to the doc and get some pulmonary function tests run to rule out asthma.
Then tell them that you have this bronchitis like symptoms each year at this time ( probably a ragweed allergy)
they'll work you up and find something to fix this problem, even if it means some antihistimines for a few months around this time each year.

Answer 2

do you smoke? especially menthols? Im am definitely not a professional, but hopefully I can give a little advice. I use to have the exact same coughing spells when I smoked. A good remedy for a sore throat is to gargle salt water, but it will not cure your coughing. You need to break up all the garbage in your lungs to help your coughing. A good otc medicine is Mucinex, it's the same thing a doctor would prescribe to you at an office, just smaller mg. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

not positive if it facilitates with the sore throat because ive under no circumstances tried it (my dad says it does those regardless of the reality that) yet its very useful with the dry cough and also you'll provide up coughing instantly away! Get some carrots and decrease thm ino products after that pour slightly brown sugar over them. After a million hour the brown sugar will develop into liquid and also you would possibly want to devour it. It tastes soooo sturdy! I stuck a chilly this week and began to have this terrible dry cough, my mom made me some carrot syrup and everytime i think like im about to have a "cough attack" i devour a number of it and it stops completly. The syrup lasts as a lot as 48h try it, it may look gross yet its fairly yummy, everybody the following in Portugal supplies it to their children and im having some at present :)

Answer 4

Is the coughing from your throat or your chest?
Sounds like possible scar tissue on your tonsils. That can cause chronic coughing for a prolonged amount of time.
Another possible cause could be walking pneumonia.
Either way, get checked out by your doc.

Most cases (85–90%), bad breath originates in the mouth, sinus and throat. The intensity of bad breath differs during the day, due to eating certain foods (such as garlic, onions, meat, fish, and cheese), obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Since the mouth is exposed to less oxygen and is inactive during the night, the odor is usually worse upon awakening ("morning breath"). Bad breath may be transient, often disappearing following eating, brushing one's teeth, flossing, or rinsing with mouthwash.
Causes:
1, Tongue, A common location is the tongue. Tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 60 to 70% of all cases of mouth-related bad breath. Methods used against bad breath, such as mints, mouth sprays, mouthwash or gum, only temporarily mask the odors created by the bacteria on the tongue, but cannot cure bad breath because they do not remove the source of the bad breath.
Cleaning the tongue - Many companies promote tongue scrapers as a bad breath cure however the bacteria on the tongue can’t be removed with a scraper or brush as they live between the taste buds. Use a tongue scrapper to reduce the food source for bacteria but don’t expect it to cure bad breath. The method of stopping bad breath from the tongue involves rebalancing the bacteria load. Once tongue bacteria are in balance bad breath will cease. For this complex procedure you’ll need to consult Oraltech Labs program at http://www.oraltech.com.au
2. Mouth, There are over 600 types of bacteria found in the average mouth. Other parts of the mouth may also contribute to the overall odor, but are not as common as the back of the tongue. These locations are, in order of descending prevalence: inter-dental and sub-gingival niches, faulty dental work, food-impaction areas in between the teeth, abscesses, and unclean dentures. To fix you will need a dentist to examine your teeth and repair any faults found. Or use Oraltech Labs Unusual Causes Of Bad Breath.
3. Gum disease, advanced periodontal disease is a common cause. Waste products from the anaerobic bacteria growing below the gum line (sub gingival) have a foul smell and have been clinically demonstrated to produce a very intense bad breath. To fix remove the tartar or hard plaque and friable tissue with a soft bristle tooth brush angled on the gum line. This has been shown to improve mouth odor considerably.
4. Nose, in this occurrence, the air exiting the nostrils has a pungent odor that differs from the oral odor. Nasal odor may be due to sinus infections, foreign bodies & commonly Post Nasal Drip. To fix this you will need to flush your sinuses with salt water. It’s very difficult. Use Oraltech Labs program to properly clear all sinus cavities.
5. Tonsils small bits of calcified matter in tonsillar crypts called tonsilloliths that smell extremely foul when released and can cause bad breath. To fix use warm to hot salt water mix to break the stones down or use a water pic to dislodge them. This topic is covered in depth in the Oraltech Labs Program.
6. Stomach, very uncommon source of bad breath. The esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube, and continuous flow (as opposed to a simple burp) of gas or putrid substances from the stomach indicates a health problem—such as reflux serious enough to be bringing up stomach contents or a fistula between the stomach and the esophagus. To fix use Oraltech Labs program to cure bad breath caused by GERD & Acid Reflux.
Management:
1. Gently clean the tongue surface twice daily; that can be achieved using a tooth brush, tongue cleaner or tongue brush/scraper to wipe off the bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. Scraping or otherwise damaging the tongue should be avoided, and scraping of the V-shaped row of taste buds found at the extreme back of the tongue should also be avoided. Brushing a small amount of antibacterial mouth rinse or tongue gel onto the tongue surface will further inhibit bacterial action.
2. Eating a healthy breakfast with rough foods helps clean the very back of the tongue.
3. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial build-up and cause or worsen bad breath, chewing sugarless gum can help with the production of saliva, and thereby help to reduce bad breath. Chewing may help particularly when the mouth is dry, or when one cannot perform oral hygiene procedures after meals.
4. Gargling right before bedtime with an effective mouthwash.
5. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including daily tongue cleaning, brushing, flossing, and periodic visits to dentists and hygienists. Flossing is particularly important in removing rotting food debris and bacterial plaque from between the teeth, especially at the gum line.
