I have been sick since the week before Christmas, the damn influenza A.

The cough was horrific, I coughed constantly, day and night, for about a week, no sleep, no nothing. Tried every over the counter medication and it didn't work, tried all sorts of home remedies and they didn't work.

To be honest the only thing that ever works for me is tussionex or phenergan/codeine cough syrup. Vicodine works as well. Unfortunately you have to go to a doc to get it.
