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.

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.

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.

What leads a person to cause own coughing when intereage with another person, may be provocation?
How can we see if it is?

Shyness and nerves.

What makes a person force his own coughing when interacts with another person, may be provocation?
How can we see if it is?

some people are just horrible. If that happens I cover my mouth with my hands and look around disgustingly. that would do that game

My dog is about eight years old and sometimes, when he coughs, it sounds like he is coughing up a hairball! He coughs like this about two times every fifteen minutes or he coughs when he is running.

No it’s not normal. This could be anything from Heartworms to Congestive Heart Failure. Take the dog to the Vet for a proper diagnosis.

These past two weeks I was sick with this mixture of a head cold, the flu, and some bronchitis thing, not my best week! So now I’m much better, but all I have now is this dry cough. I won’t stop coughing. It’s the worst at night and it’s just a nuisance, I am getting a major ab workout on the upside though. Does anyone have any good remedies to just make me stop coughing? Much appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Though we have no cure for the common cold and flu, we do have natural options in the alleviation of the nagging symptoms that accompany such ailments. Stuffy, congested nasal cavities, itchy, watery eyes and scratchy throat with a cough are a few of the most common of these symptoms. We can easily and safely diminish such irritations with the use of natural herbal home remedies and a vaporizer.

One popular and very effective herbal remedy combines the use of the essentials oils of the eucalyptus plant and the peppermint plant. The natural characteristics of eucalyptus and peppermint plants provide soothing properties to the respiratory system. When these plants are vaporized, the soothing natural active ingredients are released into the vapor. The vapor takes on a form that can be easily absorbed by the body through the bronchial tubes and nasal passages. The process is simple and effective.

Begin by placing your herbal material in the appropriate filling chamber of the vaporizer. Careful to not overfill, place just enough material in the vaporizer for a single use as any excess materials should be discarded upon the completion of vaporization. Depending on the type of vaporizer used, you may need to attach the vapor capture device to the machine. Otherwise, if the device is designed to be a room vaporizer, no attachment is necessary.

Next, turn on the heating element of the vaporizer. Eucalyptus and peppermint vaporize to maximum potency at 254 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to heat the herbs to this temperature to achieve the greatest benefit and the best soothing relief of symptoms. By properly heating the herbal substance, a good concentration of vapor is achieved. The vapor is denser with active ingredients and contains less air. Once the solution is heated, the vapor is created and fills the air or capture device.

For optimum relief of cold and flu symptoms, a slow and steady inhalation of vapors is recommended. Allow the vapor to fill the sinus passages as the eucalyptus and peppermint open the nasal cavities and calm irritated passageways. Inhale the vapor into the lungs to calm the bronchial tubes and soothe the inflamed airways. This will alleviate coughing due to irritation and congestion and also relieves a scratchy throat.

Natural herbal medicine is practiced by cultures around the globe and has been for centuries. Cold and flu are very common illnesses that can drastically affect our daily activities. Combining the natural home remedy of eucalyptus and peppermint with the technology of a vaporizer can provide great relief from symptoms of these ailments and allow you to get back to normal activities with a safe and effective process

I have Cystic Fibrosis and i have been coughing up yellow and green mucus and waking up sweating ???
I also havent been in the hospital for 5 years so what kind of infection could it be ?

Sounds like an infection…

Like i said, since last Wednesday i have been coughing up yellow mucus. Sometimes its chunks but it is mostly still liquid. I have been experiencing fever as well, last night it was 101.7 and this morning it was 99.7. I have been taking Delsym for the cough (it doesn’t help much) and extra strength tylenol for the fever.(it does help) I would love some help on this. Thanks in advance, Garrett M.

See a doctor immediately, any diagnosis here would be irrelevant. Better safe than sorry

I’ve had a cold for a week now and with it, a cough that has been keeping me up at night. Any tips for how to stop coughing long enough to get to sleep? It’s a dry cough, the kind where you keep getting that horrible tickle. I’ve tried having cough lozenges and lemon honey drinks. I can’t afford to buy cough syrup. Anything to do before bed that could help or any particular ways to sleep?

Thank you in advance.

Try lemon peel tea first and keep your back warm. Maximun one-half lemon per hour…If you need stronger medicine use great fruit skin tea made the same way …add to lemon juice and lots of sugar. It has quinine in the oils.
