Hard Cough

I keep coughing and it feels like there is something in my throat , i cant scream , my voice is raspy . It hurts to cough , i think i may have asthma (btw im a kid) . Is this called anything or how can i make it stop?

You need some medication. You probably have a chest infection which needs a course of antibiotics. Also, you need to get something to sooth your throat and keeps you from coughing. The more you cough, the worse it can get. You’ll get an ear nose and throat infection as well. if you were an adult, I’d say gargle some whiskey, but it’s probably not a great idea at your age. Cough mixtures are designed for that purpose, so get stuck into some of that. Lemon and salt can help too.

I’m sick so I need ti take the cough syrup because my doctor prescribed it for me, but I can’t figure out if I can take ibuprofen too. I’ve googled it but can’t find a definite answer.

NO!
That’s absurd.

He caught a cold from the dr office I believe last week.It started with sneezing then runny nose and now its the runny nose with a bad cough.The cough has gotten worse the last 2 days.He has no fever,but the cough is terrible.I don’t want to take him to the ER tonight because I don’t know what they will do and he is sleeping soundly now.I am going to take him to the doctor in the morning.Does anyone know what she will do?

If the diagnosis is croup, then he’ll probably get an oral dose of steroids and some antibiotics. If the doc suspects whooping cough, there is a nasal swab test. If the baby is wheezing, he might get a nebulizer treatment.

There are many different kinds of coughs. If he’s sleeping well now, that’s a good sign, as whooping cough and croup tend to get worse at night.

My mom had the flu 2-4 days ago, and she is still coughing a fair amount. When does the coughing go away after the flu?

It depends on the severity of the flu and a person’s metabolism. In my judgment if after 5 days she should return to the doctor and make sure her lungs are clear, Flu and pneumonia are close friends this consistent coughing isn’t good. I’m not telling you she has pneumonia but better be safe than sorry. One last thing are you sure she’s over the flu it can come back on a person. Best of health to mom.

my lab caught it last year and it quickly spread to my other 3 labs i phoned the vets and they very suprisinly said childrens cough medicine …i was rather shocked but it did the trick for all of them. give your vet a ring anyways as i cant remember how much your ment to give him.

It’s been going on for weeks. Only when he’s laying down. No cold or bug, no fever, no other symptoms. No changes in medications. Very unproductive annoying cough.

Hasn’t stroked in over a year. It’s just a cough right? Maybe because it’s dry weather this time of year?

There’s no neurology category, and Men’s health all they know about is erections. That works fine.

i would bring him in to see a doctor… he may need puffers to get the gunk out… i’d blame it on the dry weather… does a humidifier help?

my husband’s uncle had a stroke 2 years ago and he too has been having this dry cough thing going on… he was given Salbutomal (the blue puffer, not sure of the spelling) and it has really helped him a lot…. it helps him breath in deep wnough to cough the nasty out…

Natural remedies? I’ve heard honey is good but what else?

Your body has a cough for a reason, to expel the junk in your lungs. Taking something to ease the cough will only slow the process. The inhalation of steam as another recommended is a good idea to help loosen up the mucus in your lungs to cough it up easier.

When I saw White, I mean thick White phlegm. I was coughing up yellow phlegm, then I coughed up again. Now the phlegm is a gooey White color. I don’t feel I need to cough anymore.

Probably something trickling down from your sinuses, not a chest infection.

If you have some sort of problem in your mouth, the nasty bugs get absorbed by your spongy tonsils and also cause that type of problem.

But most likely it’s just something from your sinuses.

I toke some syrup for dry coughs and I also am sucking on halls, I have this sincce christmas.

Treating a dry cough is different than treating other types of coughs since dry cough is considered non-productive cough that should be suppressed if possible. There are many reasons why a dry cough may develop. It’s best to determine the cause of the cough so that you can embark on the right avenue for treatment. Some chronic illnesses have a dry cough as a symptom and for these conditions, the medicine your doctor provides should ease the cough as well. For other dry coughs there are additional treatment possibilities.

If you can eat honey,it is very good for a cough,at lest for me and soothes the throat.
it’s advisable to eat it with food.i did some research on the web.i usually do a tablespoon
of Honey on toast or mix with peanut butter and spread it on something.you could put it in
oatmeal,tea or ETC.oh yes,be sure and buy the pure Honey,like at the Health Food store,
the honeys in the Grocery stores add sugar which takes away the effects of the Honey.i
searched this out.if you want to do the Honey,you might want to check out " The Benefits of Honey"
on the web,there are some links to do your research,you’ll be amazed at the healing effects
of Pure Honey.a good remedy for many ailments.but then if this don’t work go to your DR.
