    Default cough help

    I've been pretty much dying of cedar fever since saturday (unbearable body aches, fever, constant cold sweats, and the rest of the shit that goes along with allergies). I'm feeling much better now, but I cannot for the fucking life of me get rid of this cough. I cough so violently it makes me vomit. I've been drinking tea with honey all day long, taking otc cough medicine... But it's of almost no use.

    Anyone know of any alternative shit I can do to help?

    If I was vomiting from coughing I would go to the doctor. I was sick like that last month and it turned into a really bad infection!

    Take Mucinex every 12 hours, use a vapor rup, and take Robitussen. Yes, you can do all these together safely. Maybe going to the Dr for the codeine cough medicine will help.

    Enjoy the purple drank Liz! I highly suggest a neti pot for allergies. It might help with your cough if it is caused by drainage from your sinuses. You can get one at Whole Foods.

    And some sprite, I think that's what it mixes best with.

    go get shower soothers at walmart, by the vapo rub I think. you drop it in the bottom of the shower and you get good medicated steam.

    oil pulling helps pull up mucous if it's the mucous that's causing throat irritation.

    when I was sick not too long ago and couching so hard my lungs were rattling, I kept a cup of apple cider vinegar by my bed. when the coughing would get really bad I'd take a really big gulp of it.

    burns like a mofo but the burning makes the itchy throat (which is why I was coughing) go away for awhile.

    also kills germs from what I recall.

    I was also doing heavy duty oil of oregano pills if you're interested in those-- strongest natural antibiotic.
