See your doctor as soon as possible. Long term coughs are nothing to mess with.

You could go to the Doctor or you could try sipping a glass of hot lemon juice with honey added when your cough is troublesome. Perhaps you are not taking the correct syrup for your cough. If you don't want to go to your Doctor then go to your nearest Pharmacy for advice.

Tea with lots of lemon and honey
Lemon and honey cough drops
Gargle with warm, salty water
Don't drink/eat anything cold or with ice
Don't drink milk or soda (makes the cough worse)
If it doesn't go away soon, you may need to see the doctor. You could have something more serious than a cold. If you start wheezing, it could be asthma--or even pneumonia--so keep track of how your cough is doing. Also keep track of anything you spit up (if the 'flem' is yellow or green, you probably need antibiotics).

I recommend cough drops called "Fisherman's Friend". They really get rid of the cough. You can buy them at WalMart. If WM does not have them, have the pharmacist order you some. You really don't have to use a whole one, they work so good.

Drink a lot of fluids. I use tea with honey and lemon. It thins out the mucous and you can cough it up easier. Robitussin with an expectorate is very helpful.

See your doctor. I had a cough that lasted a month once. The doc gave me these pearl like pills and that took care of it.
