I have been coughing for a month. Anyone have any home remedies

[shdw01]

Day 1 - sore throat
Day 3 - cough starts (with phlem)
Days 4 - 10 - more coughs with phlem
Day 11 - visit doctor, get rx
Day 12 - 19 - no phlem, coughs continue
Day 20 - decide to get the meds. start steroids (9 day supply)
Day 24 - Start antibiotics
Day 29 - finish both steroids and antibiotics
Day 30 - 34 - still coughing (no phlem), not as often but still coughing


It isn't a lot of coughs so I don't want to go back to the doctor, but it is annoying as fuck. anyone with any ideas to help your ol' buddy shdw

Rock N Rye

Mom is an ENT.

Honey and lemon work, and even a little thyme to the mix. Sucking on a lemon will work as well.

Hope you like lemons...lol

thanks for the advice, i will try it for sure.

I don't mind lemons...i'm the lemon of handicapping


do you think lemonade will work to a lesser degree?

 

[MattyMatt]

straight lemon juice if you make the honey.

A lemon wedge with salt and pep if you do the lemon suck.

I like the rock and rye with extra lemon myself as well. (might as well catch a buzz) lol

They work.

When I can't stop coughing for months I go into a steam room and sit in the back for 30 minutes. Works every time.

Quit smoking.

 

[MattyMatt]

Run a humidifier too if ya got one.

Fresh ginger root tea... Buy some form the store.. chop it ... boil it... drink it. Add a little honey if you'd like.

Also, ONIONS are a natural expectorant (phlegm clearer)

Good luck

I had this happen to me too, everything cleared up but the cough, that would some in fits every so often. Had over three months before going back to the Doctor. He gave me Qvar sampler inhaler. Took it twice a day for a month and it was knocked out.
