    Default how can i prevent a bad cough?

    i can feel it coming. the last few days i've been coughing a bit and i always, without fail, get sick at the start of a semester. it's been mono, pneumonia, strep throat, bad colds.. last fall i got so sick i lost my voice for over a week! i can feel the cough getting worse.. is there anything i can do to prevent it and get rid of it? other than just taking cough meds.. i really cant take anything that makes me sleepy with my jam packed schedule.

    Maybe get a whole bunch of Emergen-C and take that? Perhaps that Airplane! stuff?

    Yarrow tea, as much as you can drink, and echinacea tincture once an hour.

    ^i have no idea what that is. where would i buy that tea? and the other stuff, like i said, no clue, haha.

    i can feel it getting worse. it was hard to fall asleep because when i laid down i could feel it in my throat, and i can feel that my body is starting to get sick. i woke up coughing this morning too

    britt are you taking vitamins and stuff anyway? As dancer that is in close contact with people and their icky germs all the time you should start taking emergen-c or some other type of vitamin c regularly to boost your immune system and help you stop getting sick all the time.

    ^its weird, i never get sick except at the start of school! i was very rarely sick growing up, and when i do get sick its like fullblown sick, not a little thing. i should start taking vitamins, i know. i just forget to take them! i'm going to try the airborne though.

    Thsi sounds silly, but I found it in a book. It's supposed to help sore throats, but it's helped my coughs too. It's the yoga Lion pose. You breathe out and stick out your tongue very far. Well, here's a bit from the book. Hope that makes sense.

    I love airborne! If you're big on taste, get the real deal. The original flavor tastes like Tang! The generic tastes like shit.
