This cough is driving me nuts!
Have you tried a codeine cough syrup?
Stop taking lisinopril.
One good chunk of garlic, 1 large teaspoon of honey, some vinegar, blended with a raw beet. You can add a teaspoon of Tasters Choice instant coffee in one tall glass of water. End of cough.
Is it a result of the dry air that forced heat systems pump out? My sinuses have been killing me the last few weeks due to it. Believe it or not I actually find relief going outside in the cool damp air.
Perhaps a humidifier would help?
Have you checked with your doctor about the possibility that it might be whooping cough?
Seriously. A guy in my church has it right now. He’s had a cough and general “cold type sickness” for two months now.
Whooping cough is not just for kids, and isn’t completely gone from the USA.
Advil (or generic ibuprofen). Lessen the inflammation, lessen the cough.
If you have acute bronchitis, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks after the inflammation resolves. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a productive cough that lasts at least three months, with recurring bouts occurring for at least two consecutive years.
Natural honey, herbal tea with lemon juice.
Yum!
Also, put 2 books under the head of your bed to elevate your head a little .

You won’t dare cough.
A little whiskey before sleep maybe?
pineapple juice on an empty stomach is pretty effective.
Is it dry or wet?
...or side-effect of other meds?
Whiskey and honey hot toddies. Might still have the cough, but you won’t be nearly so concerned about it. In that same vein, warm ginger brandy in a snifter. The toddies are what mom made for me when I was a kid as I was allergic to just about everything.

Are you bringing anything up? If so what color is it?
Does the coughing ease when you are in a warm humid environment?

Cod liver oil. You can’t take too much. This won’t help your cough right away but will help heal your mucous membranes and keep them healthy.
ACE inhibitor blood pressure meds can give you a hacking cough. Otherwise, allergies? Chronic bronchitis?
Just from past experience, it sounds like your bronchial tubes remain inflamed from all the coughing, It becomes a vicious cycle. The cure for this is a steroid, or about five days of prednisone.Or an inhaler. Yes, you need another prescription.
We use marshmallow root tea...the herb, not the fluffy candy 😉. It is even more effective when combined with lemon balm. Add a quality raw honey and it should help.
