Hard Cough

I’ve had this cough for a little over a week and it’s really, really annoying and embarrassing. It varies from a wet to dry cough and now it’s mostly dry. I’ll get a tickle in my throat at least twice a day and I can’t stop coughing for a good 5 minutes. It’s distracting me and probably other people in my class and I need it to stop. I went to the doctor but she won’t give me a prescription unless it continues onto Saturday. Cough drops hasn’t been helping me nor has water.

Try taking a teaspoon of honey whenever you can. If you can get buckwheat unpasteurized honey so much the better but any will do. Know you can’t very well take this to school but there are some medications that have honey in them that you might try and just do the straight honey at home. Luck to you.

A) stimulant.
B) opioid.
C) anxiolytic.
D) barbiturate.

B, opioid. "Opioids can cause cough suppression…" Codeine was once a common ingredient in over-the-counter cough suppressants.

Good luck.

I am not unfit and none of my close family have asthma, although my grandad had emphysema and my dad smokes. The coughing is sometimes triggered by strong smells such as perfume and air freshener, and smoke.

are you wheezing? if not, then it is not asthma

I have been smoking weed since the age of 15. I started smoking everyday when i turned 16. I am now 18 and i have my medicinal marijuana card and i smoke 3 bowls a day. I recently noticed that I cough every time I take a hit. It doesn’t matter if its from a pipe, joint, or blunt. I’ve also noticed that I cough up lots and lots of phlegm. The cough lasts all day and my parents are getting worried that my cough hasn’t gone away after 3 weeks.

I got emphysema from smoking weed, which includes chronic cough.

Weed doesn’t cause any other illness, it doesn’t cause lung cancer, you can’t die from it…etc etc

But the only thing you can get from smoking too much weed is emphysema, which most kids do not know, it usually starts with a cough that lasts up to 4-6 weeks.
