Hot bath, submerse your chest for several minutes before bed. If you have vicks rub then put on your chest then cover with tshirt and sweatshirt, try to sweat it out. Lots of water and tea. Sorry I don't have a magic cure but these help me. Last Edited by Paid Sock Puppet on 12/31/2012 05:58 PM |

The cough is horrible -- I use Mucinex DM to dry up the nasty goo & sip spiced mead to help with the rest. Hope you feel better soon.

If it's brown/yellow/green it usually means you have a chest infection and need antibiotics. Even a dry cough can progress into a chesty cough. If you've had the cough for more than a few weeks, you should see a doctor. You don't want it turning into bronchitis or pneumonia. |

Debauchery User ID: 15455863 United States 12/31/2012 06:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30877260 United States 12/31/2012 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its been bad for a week now, cant seem to shake it. Just going to try some menthol with some boiling water in a bowl and stick my head over to try and clear some of the crap in my lungs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31144462 Terrible when I lay down. Any other remedies welcome guys :( There are more than a few people I know who are coughing and hacking. Even I am doing it. I agree a little toddy will help, but for daily use I am using an Apple Cider Vinegar-Honey toddy to keep alkalized. Then I am also using a Colloidal Silver Throat Spray, throughout my day. In my experience, it is working. I am using this one with success- [link to www.iherb.com] Good Luck with that cough. It is something to take serious and be concerned about. keep hydrated, with pure water. Anyone considering some colloidal throat spray should check out these reviews- [link to www.iherb.com] First time orders can get as much as $10 off using coupon code BES696. |

My wife has it too and has gone through a course of antibiotics and it still is hanging on. Coughing up horrible phlegm every morning. Coughing fit when I go to bed.

A daily for 3 days After 3 days, switch over to Vit. D3, 150,000 IU daily for 7 days. After 7 days, back down to 10,000 IU daily until summer when you can get outside & get some sun. vaccinefreehealth blogspot com The risk far outweighs any benefit as the risk will vary from child to child. facebook.com/graphixyourway |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8620213 United States 12/31/2012 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | take an onion, slice it and put sugar on it. let it in the fridge for several hours and then eat. Quoting: Fun-Da-Mental Not very tasty but a killer remedy for a cough. ^^^this^^^. I am on day 11 of this horrible chest and head congestion, cough, razor blade sore throat. I am on the mend though. This onion stuff is antibacterial as well as it breaks up the mess. I used brown sugar though and had teaspoons of the syrup every couple hours till I ran out. I also slathered myself in vicks repeatedly, took lots of hot baths, drank hot toddies (with tequila instead of whiskey), salt water gargles, and ibuprofen. Feel better soon! |
