Ways to get rid of a really bad cough?!


Question: I've had a really bad cough & cold for about 5 days now. But now when i cough it hurts really bad. I've been drinking lots of water with lemon, tea, and some medicine every day. But it seems like most of those things didn't make me feel better, and now i am missing about 3 days of school. Also do you think it is that bad that i have to go to the doctor? Thank you everyone. You dont know how much i appreciate this.

ludens,nyquill go to the doctor before it gets worse cause i had the flu, just go no woorries

I know this sounds weird but eveyone says it will work. Put Vicks vapor rub on your feet and then put socks on. Use a lot of the vicks on your feet. I tried it today and it actually cut my coughing in half. Try it.

when i had a cold i ate lots of oranges and it really helped

Call dr. and ask name of a 'good' cough syrup or drop. My wife recommends Chloroseptic throat spray. She yells at me a lot so ... well, you get the idea.

A cough is just a symptom of an underlying problem....usually if a cough does not show signs of improving in 3 to 5 days I would think that a trip to a Dr. is advisable....even though the cough may be suppressed with meds you still need to find out what is going on to produce the cough.......By the way I am not a real Dr but i play one on Y/A !!!! ;-}

Whenever i have a cough nothing else works other than vicks rub.I rub vicks on my neck, throat ,chest and behind my ears for a few days and it is completely gone.It starts working from day one,i stop coughing.

Here are a few simple home remedies that will help to overcome cough. Have honey in a hot drink before bed time.To relieve fits of coughing due to dryness in the throat, suck a few pepper corns. Check out http://useinfo6.blogspot.com/ for more remedies and information.
