Some doctors say that it is good to cough when you have a cold but if you have any pleghm in your chest and can hear noises than it could be bronchitis or pneumonia. If it is just a common cold then it has to run its course. If your cough keeps you awake at night then try robitussin dm, that will stop your cough. The generic form is called "tussin". It would be best to see adoctor as soon as your able to. good luck and i hope this helped!

If you have had a cough that long you should go to a doctor. Look for a non-profit hospital in your area, they have to see you in the emergency room no matter your income or insurance status. But until then try Robitussin DM. It taste gross but works.
Good luck.

well if it is raelly that bad, then you really should try and get to thedocs or something.... ummm if you havent already, try, gargling with salt water if yout throat is also sore, eat a taspoon of honey every few hours, drink some green tea with some honey or lemon, try also those soothers with the liquid centres.....maybe something to lubricate your throat...otherwise go to the doctors, it sounds serious!

Drink 8 glasses of water a day. You need to hydrate yourself to thin the mucus from your lungs. SOme rest wouldn't hurt you either.

Vicks formula 44 works wonders for me. Relatively inexpensive and does not make you drowsy. Good Luck!
