how to stop coughing?

Question

i have been up most of the last few nights coughing
i have tried over the counter cough meds
cough syrup tussin ,zicam, and mucinex
nothing works

Answer 1

If you have been that sick for a while, I would suggest going to the doctor. In the meantime, drink herbal peppermint tea. Peppermint soothes and so does hot tea. Two birds with one stone. For an extra benefit, use honey instead of sugar to sweeten it. I like Celestial Seasonings, which is in a white and pinstripe red box in the tea aisle.

Hot tea is really good for many throat ailments, by the way.

Answer 2

Try mixing couple tablespoons honey with same amount of lemon juice. Place in microwave to warm. Careful: only few seconds to avoid injuries! This will coat your throat. Also, remember to not eat or drink right after cough aids, this removes the "coating"
Hope you feel better (looking for 1 more over the counter remedy? try delsum! also works well)

Answer 3

Try boiling water on a low simmer and add some vicks to the water. It adds moisture and provides comfort.

Answer 4

Try honey and lemon in a glass of warm water. Also take a look at this website... http://www.doctoryourself.com/coughing.html

Answer 5

i agree with the person who said it might be pneumonia.
It could also be tuberculosis or Whooping cough. Normally those 19th century diseases should be cured by now, but thanks to all of the illegal immigrants from the Turd World, we have to contend with deadly diseases again.
Good luck.
