what is the best medicine for cough that is always on and off.?


Question:


Answers:
On and off? Sounds like a chronic condition that warrants medical attention. Could be asthma. In that case, cough meds could actually worsen the problem.
if you have a cough for longer than two weeks-make an appt to be seen by a dr-it could be caused by a respiratory infection for which you will need antibiotics to treat it.

it depends on whether you have congestion with the cough or not.if you do have congestion and are not coughing anything up-try robutessin DM-this will help loosen up the congestion and help you to cough it out.

if it's just a nagging cough that is leftover from an earlier cold-try regular robutessin or vicks 44 cough syrup. both of these work really good for supressing coughs and they each have a night time formula to help you sleep. robutessin is more commonly used and it's what we use with our patients at the hospital i work at.
Sounds like an allergy.My brother had the same thing and the Dr. told him to get "clariton-d" It cured him...
