    Default presistent cough, yellow congestion

    I am getting over a cold that was going around at work. Sometimes the club is like a damn daycare center in this sense. Now I am physically feeling better except I have a nagging cough that seems to bother me more when I lay down, and every once in a while I have yellow congestion that comes up when I cough. I hate going to the doctor even though I have insurance. Anyone have any suggestions?? I have been taking Robitussin cough,cold and flu, and halls drops for my scratchy throat.

    The body is using the mucuous to rid itself of toxins. Do what you can to promote a better flow.

    Break up the mucous via light exercise like a brisk walk or a steamy shower.

    Drink lots of water. If the congestion is really bad, try a saline solution to clear the sinuses. Stay away from the other decongestants, they just dry you out.

    I'm starting to get over what you have - I haven't slept well the past 5 days because the cough would literally wake me up out of sleep every hour!. I've been taking Mucinex DM - its over the counter and its worked really well for me. Good luck!
