I have a cough
Comments (17)I get bronchitis nearly every time I catch a cold. I have asthma, and have gone to a lung/asthma specialist (before my HMO decided I didn't need to! GRRR) for it in the past. He always told me to do this and it would tell me if my cold had become bronchitis..... take in a big deep breath. Blow it out QUICKLY and forcefully through your mouth. If you start coughing, you've got bronchitis. He also said to see Dr. if temps are over 102. And, that the stuff that you cough up should not be really dark (could be old blood in the lungs) or have bright blood in it. For a cold's cough, he always recommended lots of vitamen C, or orange juice..... take in extra fluid to keep lung tissue hydrated, and take the Robitussen as needed to sleep - otherwise, he preferred not doing anything about cold symptoms, because he believed it prolonged the cold - that you have a cough or drainage for a reason and it is part of ridding the body of the germs. Hope you get better soon....See MoreCoughing, Runny Nose and Tired
Comments (6)My pregnant DIL had something last week. They were here on Sunday night for dinner and she was fine. Monday she woke up sick and went to her OB, whos said she was dehydrated. My son came down with runny nose and cough on Thursday, felt ok on Friday then Saturday woke up with a fever of 102. Last night I felt like I had a scratchy throat and the start of a headache and cough. Today I have worse as the day goes on but no fever, just chills. Funny thing is that I visited 14 schools in the month of Jan. and Feb., testing kids and didn't pick up anything. You would have thought not being around kids for a while that I would have gotten stuff then....See Morecough remedy .. it helps!
Comments (6)yayagal: Yes, I too am afraid of choking on one & joke (not funny though!) that if I am found dead in bed some morning to make sure someone checks for a coughdrop in my throat! But I take the chance as the cough keeps me awake. So these 'new' (for me) Fisherman's Friend drops have been around for many years? What a well-kept secret for a lot of us 'cause they sure do work! Of course my chile eating addicted husband always says chile (it contains the capsaicin found in the drops) works miracles!...See Morepost nasal drip and constant coughing
Comments (13)Hi - Original poster here. I was digging around the net about post nasal drip and noticed that some people had some success with nasal irrigation. Basically you stand with your head over the sink and gently pour or spray a weak salt water solution in your nose. The water and all the gunk that's making you cough come out your nose into the sink. I tried it on myself using the infant nose aspirator to see how it worked. Not exactly pleasant but not horrible either. After much prodding, I persuaded my daughter to try it. We were amazed at the difference it made. (We were also amazed by all the stuff that came out of her head.) Her coughing and gagging have decreased by 75%. If you have post nasal drip, I suggest you try it....See Morelh00
