Hey Freepers!
What are your cough remedies?
I've had a persistent and overwhelming cough since December.
I've been to multiple doctors, been on anti biotics, had all kinds of cough syrups and drops. Nothing seems to stop it.
Anyone have a home remedy? Thanks in advance!
Wow really!!
This is going to sound crazy but try putting rubbing alcohol on Q-tip and swirl in both ears.
Take the honey with tea then.
Ummmmm...for a dry cough I generally use the following:
1/4 cup Knob Creek bourbon
1 teaspoon honey
juice of Meyer lemon
sprig of thyme
Muddle, pour and shoot. Repeat until you fall asleep.

you’re low in magnesium. take Metagenics mag glycinate. get up to about 8 tablets a day, split throughout the day.
your cough will go away and never come back but you must take the mag consistently.
Doctors should have ordered a chest X-ray immediately for a persistent cough.
MY mom has same thing right now it is a bugger !!!! I picked her up MUSINEX for extreme cough and congestion, we did EVERYTHING else, codine cough syrup, antibiotics, the WORKS!!! this stuff seems to have REALLY helped her!!! It is some sort of allergy but don’t know what!!!!
It can be treated at home. Get the endoscope as others have said. Don’t think it is going away.
It is a condition that needs treatment.
I had a tightening muscle in the esophagus that created all kinds of problems. Doc stretched it out.
Good. I'll be praying for you!
I had a dry cough for quite a while. Then I got the flu twice and it wasn’t so dry. I just spent the weekend in Palm Springs and my cough is finally pretty much gone.
I think I had a virus that just didn’t go away for a long time.
It’s entirely possible that my mom lied about the purpose of the med so I wouldn’t worry about her reducing the dose.
I worry about her having another heart attack all the time. Drives her nuts.
My friend, several different types of pneumonia are floating around across the USA. I suggest that you get a immediate C/T of your lungs and get yourself a great lung infection specialist. Remember, certain strains of pneumonia are killers. Please do not fool around.....you have had that cough for far too long!!! Take it from me, pneumonia and I are great friends. The “old wives’ tales do not cut it!!! I am not acting in panic.......just in preventive action!!!
I got whooping cough in early October and stopped coughing in early January. Not much they can do with it medically.

Thanks Sorrisi, sing away.
Thank you so much! It’s much needed right now.
Have you ever tried Tessalon perles? I have periodic bronchitis, and it is the only thing that helps me get rid of it. As soon as I feel that tickle, I take it.
Seriously? I’m taking that and have had a chest cold with cough since December 25th. It’s finally about gone, but it’s been annoying.
Just from the posts on this thread you realize it could be anything.
The sooner the better to get that chest x-ray and maybe a C-T scan.
