*Health Issues>>>Respiratory Diseases issues>>>Anyone have a cure for coughing fits? |
Issue I have a nasty cold, and when I start coughing I cannot stop. I have tried cold medicines, but they do not help this particular problem. Does anyone have any remedies? Best Tip Being a respiratory therapist, I see this a lot. Cough is often habitual meaning once it starts, that sometimes you can't stop. Your cough could be related to your cold, but I would go see a pulmonologist if this problem continues as coughing can be caused by a lot of other things than a cold, from cough-variant asthma to Chronic Bronchitis, there is a list a mile long. What works to stop a cough for one person is not necessarily going to do the same for you. Best of Luck, Kimberly, RRT Others Try a cough drop. If that doesn't work, drink hot water mixed with honey and a little lemon juice. The usual solution is to basically anesthatize the throat so that nothing tickles any more - that's your standard "cough suppressant". Or, you can fill your cold remedy with alchohol - which doesn't make any problems go away, you just care less ;) give up the smoking? seriously is it a chesty cough or just irritation if its chesty go see the doc it may need antibiotics I grab a regular old Bic pen (blue ink preferably) and jab it repeatedly into my neck. That always seems to do the trick. See a doctor, just got over mine. Almost deadly. Antibiotics cured mine. Ok, here's the deal! I had this same thing in camp, so ill give you some of my remedies: 1) Always have a cough drop at hand! 2) If you have asthma, find your inhaler right away. If you don't, breathe into a paper bag almost as if you are having a panic attack 3) Fill a pan with hot water and hold your head over it, let the steam clear you up 4) Drink lots of fluids to soothe your throat 5) Get a good nights sleep 6) Breathe deeply |
