Hard Cough

I’ve caught a cold ! I don’t have a runny nose but I have mucus in the nose that is clogged by a stuffy nose. I also have a dry cough that bothers me alot. Salt water gargles, Lemon & honey, i"ve heard of those before. Any of you have any ideas that will work fast ? 10 points for best answer because i’m dying for a good answer. Thanks in advance (=

the only real remedy, besides home remedies, is medicine.

try some over-the-counter medicine, like tylenol, advil, motrin, ect.
you’ll be better within a week, most likely, unless its something more serious causing it. i would go to the doctors, just incase you need an antibiotic for it.

sorry, wish i could give you a better answer

Medicines that work good and quite fast for a dry cough?

Go to the doctor, he should give you a stronger cough syrup.

My friend is 48 and he stopped smoking 5years ago. He still has a persistent dry cough many times a day. We’ve seen doctors but no one seem to have any suggestions. What could be some causes and helpful suggestions to seek treatment?

my throat is very itchy and i have a bad dry cough before i go to sleep and its hurt every time i swallow my saliva.i have this for a week now and when the cold season started.

There are several types of throat and cough lozenges available as over the counter medicines. It is imperative that you, the consumer read and follow all directions and warnings that accompany the product.

It started a few days ago. Everytime I breath in and out I feel a tickle at the back of my through. It makes me feel like I need to cough and when I do sometimes a little phlegm comes up but majority of the time it is dry. It is driving me nuts because I cough all night. Please help.

Go to your local drug store and get some zinc throat lozenges that should help

I have been having like a dry, not very flemish cough. And like they are at random moments. Like I can not cough for like an hour, then its CONSTANT coughing!!! How do I stop it?? Naturally, without like cough syrups. Not working too well.

Thanks!!! <3

drink water and use cough drops it works for me

I am having continuous dry cough since one year and hence I am not able to breath freely like normal person. The cough starts only when am travelling or else while taking spicy food. I consulted several docters and took medicine as per thier prescription. There is no result. Can anyone please help me with some tips of some home made medicine to get out of this trouble?

Drink water with honey, suck on cough drops or hard candy, try to stay away from dry air, get a small peel of ginger sprinkle it with salt and chew, check around for mold or mildew, put hot packs on your chest, try taking vitamin A,C, and E, and/or inhale steam! Hope this helps!

i do not have a vaporizer, and the closest walmart openright now is over two hours away and its 1am I need help. can this dry cough turn into pnemonia, even though there is no mucus?????
i live in missouri.

Turn the shower on hot..close the bathroom door and sit in there and read a book with him.

Best I can tell you is with whooping cough you aren’t in danger it just sounds bad. Get to the doctor though so he can listen to his chest and make sure there aren’t other things causing the cough like an ear infection.

When you do get a vaporizer get a cold mist one. Warm mist vaporizers are germ dens.

i have tried taking cough syrup but it doesnt seem to be helping my dry cough. anyone know any herbal remedies?

for dry cough use dextromethorphan syrup or pholcodine
