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.

Go to Urgent Care, tell them what you told us, and get some cough syrup with codeine.

K.

"cough syrup with codeine."

What she said. Now that's the medicine so you can get good sleep.

Steroid inhalers also good. But require a prescription.

Vicks Vapor Rub.

And a steamy shower

Do these in order and then head to bed.

if your cough is caused by allergies you may have allergy induced asthma.

Cause that ain't normal. Just sayin.
