...this is so annoying

There is something called "walking pneumonia" and this is what you might have if you don't go to the doctor to find out. I hope by this time you are feeling better. The only cough syrup I take when I'm like you is Robitussin DM. It has an ingredient in it that will loosen phlegm and stop the coughing. If you have other symptoms though that are persistent, you need to go see a medical professional...in other words, a doctor, whether you like it or not. If you let this go too long, you will end up in the hospital. Take care.

Oh dear... you did not go to the docs and we here at MyLot arent good doctors, we would need many reports and tests to be done before we give you any prescriptions. So better you consult your local doctor. Try a new one if the one you know doesnt make you comfortable, but do get yourself checked. I could prescribe you some homeopathy doses but now that the cough has stayed for so long, I am unsure how these prescriptions from me would work. All I can say is take care and consult a doctor soon

hello, sis! Haven't you gone to a doctor? A week of coughing ain't good. You might end up having pneumonia. You should be taking antibiotics by now coz simple cough medicines would not help.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this. Did you take any cough syrup or medicines for it? consult your doctor about your health and take proper medicines to over come from your problem. Wish you to have a speedy recovery

Maybe you need rest for a while, take a leave from work for a few days with medication of course ( I use herbal). That's what I do because travelling and stress at work could worsen it.

Do you go to see the doctor? I know getting cough is really annoying, i suggest you to drink more boiled water. hope u get better soon.

Don't take cough for granted. Persistent cough that won't go away despite taking medications might need you to see a doctor. I have a nun friend who thought that her coughing was normal cough and only purchased over the counter cough syrup. She doesn't have fever but only cough. What started as minor cough slowly worsened and she could no longer stand her cough that continued for weeks so she went to see the doctor. She was so shocked when the doctor told her that she needed to undergo blood test as her coughing was abnormal. The test came out and confirmed that she has cancer. The cancer spread so fast that within a year she passed away.

It's really annoying suffering like that, friend. Isn't better for you to drink more water and or go to see the doctor to provide you prescription with that cough.

Maybe you need antibiotics already. Why don't you try see a doctor and get a prescription? I hate coughs so whenever I feel like I am going to have colds because coughs usually start with this, I'd do everything to fix it immediately.

Hey Adnileb, it seems like you are coughing real bad. Have you seen the doctor?

Oh, I had something like that last year, around this time too. December 2011. I also remember losing my voice by the second week. You know how long before my persistent cough went away? After 1 month. Seriously! I think the only reason I got well eventually was because I exerted all my drained energy and had myself checked by a doctor, an internist, who prescribed me some coughing meds and antibiotics. I hope you are now okay by this time. If not, then please do go for a check up. Be well!

I have a site that may help you. It has very good natural remedies. http://earthclinic.com/CURES/coughs.html It has remedies for many things, so you can look up anything that's bothering you. Some of the remedies call for apple cider vinegar. It should be organic. This is much better. If it's not it doesn't always work. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Hi adnileb, go see a doctor. Cough is a viral, and you need antibiotic to cure that. Besides, you need to take cough medication to recover. Otherwise, keep coughing like that would hurt you throat. And bear in mind not to blow air-conditioner since you are coughing, or you might loose your voice. That was what my doctor said when i had bad cough recently. Take care, wish you speedy recovery.

It is not good having cough for almost a week already. Try calamansi in warm water. It will helps especially if its dry cough.

Have you tried putting moisture in your rooms either by a vaporizer or getting your bathroom really steamy and seeing if it helps. I would go to the doctor if it does not get better soon.

Ohaouk aohukk... Just wonder when you cough okay, first of all drink honey mix with 1000 mg of vitamin C second, sleep tightly if you do this in three days, your cough will reduce believe me..believe me..believe me...

It is cold season here and there are a lot of very sick people running around. I wouldn't go to the doctor here right now unless I really had to. I would suggest some warm tea or coffee. I am not a coffee drinker but I have drank it for certain purposes before.

Thanks for this nice discussion, this is 3 months old, guess you are fine now. When ever you have this again, try gargling with warm water to which salt is added, also mix ginger with honey and lick, i bet you get cured lol.

Be careful with it. My mother went to the doctor because she had a terrible cough that would not go away either and they put an IV in her with steroids, she was dehydrated and had a fever. The doctor told her she was ONE day away from being hospitalized and put on a ventilator! Just be careful with the type of thing, sometimes its not something to play with...I hope you get better soon and the cough goes away!

oh my dear am sorry for what you are feeling. why don't you try taking lemons perhaps cut them and boil them then take the boiled water from the lemons it will reduce. also avoid crowdy places and always wash your hands.
