Well that's the only thing you CAN do! If you read the labes on all your mediceans it says "if couch does not stop within two weeks consult a doctor" Sorry hun, but sometimes you just HAVE to see the doctor- Good Luck!

Hot tea and lemon.soothes the throat and eliviates the irritation that causes the cough! Hope that you feel better!

Stop drinking milk and eating dairy products, my brother-in-law and my nephew both had pneumonia this winter that they couldn't kick when finally the pediatrician took my nephew off dairy and it really helped. Something to do with mucus production.

try cough syrups that say cough suppressants and take it as much as the label or the box says. do not take over the required amount. if that does not help then see a walk in clinic that charges twenty five to fourty depending where you live.

Try Aunt Henrietta's Lung Tonic, by the Herb Lady. Visit her web site at: www.herbsistah.com

that happens sometimes, if this doesnt go away in 2 more weeks then u NEED to go the doctor. You could have a micoplasma infection. mycosplasma is a microbe that causes colds but does not respond to the typical remedies b/c it has no cell wall, so it needs a special anti-biotic to get rid of it.
a doctor visit is like $80-100 and the medicine would be like $60 more, i think it is worth your health!

Sounds like what is going around. I bet it is sinuses just dripping away. Try sinus medicine and try to find a free clinic. Try your local health department.

Do you have a free clinic? I know there is a certain amount of shame associated with free clinics, but you want to be tested for things like TB or bronchitis.
Or you can take Mucinex. It is an expectorant, that is, a medication that promotes elimination of mucus from the lungs. The expectorant promotes elimination of mucous by thinning the mucous and lubricating the irritated respiratory tract.

there are clinics out there that are just for people that haven't any insurance and on a tight budget.I had to go to one of those some years ago. They are usually really busy and you may have to wait, but that would be one way of getting a cure.Have you tried Vick's in a humidifier? Make sure to eat plenty of chicken soup with a lot of spices, that one works for me.If you have Bronchitis, you will need to see the doctor.I have heard of persistent coughs turning into pneumonia, and that can take a toll on a person. So one more time, those clinics are cheap and sure would be worth it to keep from having to go to emergency room with pneumonia.

Firstly, throw all of your typical cough syrups with DXM (dextromethorphan) away. Although it CAN get you quote/unquote "high", it has no ability to supress a cough. The advertisers argue otherwise, but research has shown that DXM cures a cough no better than sacraficing a chicken.

As a chemist, I would recommend sacraficing a goat.

Hehe, no I'm just kidding. If your cough is productive (you are producing green phlem), then it is most likely bacterial and not viral. If your flem is red/orangish or rust-colored, then go to the friggin' hospital.that's a sign that there is something wrong enough to spend money on. If your flem is green, although this costs money, I have to suggest Erythromycin. It can be bought online without a prescription for relatively cheap, for example:

It has cured me of such a cough on more than one occassion. It's a very powerful antibiotic.

I'm sorry I don't know any free "grandma's old cough cure" methods. A 12 hour LSD trip will knock a cough right out of you. Or I guess that goat thing couldn't hurt to try, hehe.

Not sure where you live but back here we have a company i am pretty sure it is Called Defelice care anyways if you call and explain your situation they may give you a neubulizer on loan, try asking local medical supplies places they just might help you out.

quafinision (mucionex) will help get the mucous up and out. Drink lots and lots of water. u really need to try to find a free clinic.. or try the health dept

Try Mucinex(the ingredient in Guafenisin), get the plain kind or Mucinex DM. Take 2 in am and 2 in pm and drink lots of water or juice not caffeine drinks. Caffeine is a diuretic. The Gaufenisin needs fluid to thin the secretions and make your cough productive. Also a humidifier will help.

Good Luck:)
