my cough makes me bark like a dog!!!

Well its okay. Maybe its because of the weather in your palce. And maybe its because of the lacto basilli that your taking. Just pretend that you are not that one who coughs like a dog.

i started to have a cough since yesterday. i immediately bought a herbal capsule that would suppress coughing and it's very effective. i refrain from eating sweets and cold drinks for these would aggravate more coughing. take a rest and sleep early. drink a lot of water if possible. if coughinh persists, i think you need to see a doctor for correct prescription of medicines.

No, I never had a cough that sounded like a barking dog. But I had a classmate in high school though who had a similar problem of yours before. Most of our classmates used to tease him about it - and he got pretty upset. Perhaps you should drink warm juice - vitamin c. It really helps. Just avoid any cold drinks or ice cream. Take care!

Barky coughs are usually caused by an inflammation or swelling in the upper part of the airway. Most often barky coughs are caused by croup, an inflammation of the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe). Croup can be brought on by allergies, change in temperature at night or, most commonly, a viral upper respiratory infection. When a young child's airway becomes inflamed, it may swell near, or just below, the vocal cords, making it harder to breathe. Children younger than 3 years of age tend to get croup because their windpipes are narrow. Croup can come on suddenly, and in the middle of the night, when your child is at rest. Often it's accompanied by stridor, a noisy, harsh breathing (some doctors describe it as a coarse, musical sound) that occurs when a child inhales (breathes in).
