I suffering from the same. Use vapor rub on your throat and chest thick coat than put a hot washcloth over it. Also you can put honey in your hot tea. Hope you feel better.

The past two weeks I have been the same, even laughing was out of the question cuz I'd wind up teary eyed and coughing up a lung. I find that robitussin never seems to work, maybe just because I can't get over the taste. Try the new liquid tylenol especially for coughing, there should be a daytime and a nighttime option. I love it, most of the time I only have to take half the recommended dosage. There is also a vicks chloroseptic that you can spray on your throat, it nums the throat for about 2 hrs. If you can't get to a store try warm tea, or even hot cocoa. My father use to give me a spoonful of honey every hour or two when we had nothing else. Hope you get better.

Why won't be able to you're taking a decongestant? you could take a decongestant with the antibiotics, ask your pharmacist. no matter if this is because you've intense blood rigidity, or hypothyroidism, you could take chlortrimaton, this is not any longer as reliable as sudafed, even though it ought to help a touch. Guiagenasen is the finest ingredient for a efficient cough. It would not supply up you from coughing in any respect, it makes your cough more desirable efficient once you do cough so that you do not ought to hack and hack to sparkling your lungs. you could take Guiafenasen in liquid(Robitussin) or pill type (MUCINEX), and also you'll get Guiafenasen with sudafed (MUCINEX D). although, in the journey that your lungs are sparkling, and also you only have a tickle on your throat, I propose losenges.

The pharmacists at Walgreens #5874 like to recommend Delsym. It comes in a big orange box.

I just used a medicine from Alka-seltzer, and I felt wonderful right away. But to help you with asthma, try keeping your chest warm, and drinking warm drinks. (ie..coffee, team, cocoa,...) the heat will help your lungs expand more comfortably.

Dry coughing could lead to TB - better have your lung xrayed and consult with doctor before it will be deteriorating!
