Help!

Your remedies, please, for a persistent, non-productive, agonizing, hacking cough, caused by spring pollen allergies. I have taken Claritin, and Ibuprofin for the fever, and I'm eating cough drops and sucking down tea, but this cough is killing me, and it's tearing me apart. Suggestions?

I'm desperate here.

Are you coughing because your throat tickles? Try spraying your throat with Chloraseptic or whatever that numbing stuff is. Likely you've got drainage and that irritates your throat, causing the urge to cough. My doctor suggested this to me once and oh, blessed relief.
