Does anyone know of a sure fire way to get rid of a cough. It's driving me mad, and everyone I know. Feels like I have something stuck in my throat. Plus coughing is hurting my neck, and giving me a headache! gggrrr.....

Any advice is welcome

So I am going to give my usual medical advice here:

ASSUMING you are otherwise healthy (i.e. you haven't had your spleen removed, you aren't immunosuppressed, you don't have AIDS or cancer, etc.):

Do the chicken soup (if you're not a vejumatarian), vitamin C, echinacea, zinc, and hot tea with lemon and honey thing. Don't try to force a fever down with aspirin or Tylenol. Fever is how your body helps to get rid of an infection.

And keep an eye on it. If it gets any worse, see a doctor. If it suddenly starts to get REALLY bad, go to the emergency room.

Also, I don't know what bone it was that you fractured in your back, but it's probably not totally healed yet, so take it easy.

Oh, and I prescribe ten foot massages.

garlic, garlic, lots of garlic. Of course this will mean that you will have to abstain from talking to people for many days, but it is worth it!!!

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

I agree with MikeG and Rozi, but here are two things to consider:
1. If your voice is getting more and more hoarse, that might indicate the presence of a tumor.
2. A chronic dry cough for no reason can lead to pneumonia.
I suggest you get it looked at.
You may actually have something stuck in your throat, a bit of chicken or fish bone.
If it hurts when you swallow, that's the sign of an infection. Traditional herbal remedies include marshmallow root tea and thyme tea.
Foot massages will help you relax, but I think neck, throat, and head massages, with lavender oil, are in order.
Yoga before bedtime may help, too.
Good luck.

Thanks guys!

Maximus - So I could have a tumour or get pneumonia...excellent!!!

MikeG - I am otherwise healthy (i.e. no cancer or Aids or anything) so I'll keep taking my vitamins etc. The bone that I fractured was at the top of my spine, so it does kind of hurt when I have my coughing fits. Although I'm sure your foot massages will help alot

Vaperloc - I tried to call you babes....but you weren't home

Rozi - will try the garlic thing. MikeG - you gonna be OK with a garlicy Hels, cos I did win you in the auction and don't want to waste any time with you....

Pozee - eeerm, "Do I smoke?" well kind of, well yes actually. And yes I know I shouldn't, and it's going to make my cough worse etc etc, so pleeaseee don't tell me off

'z to all you guys for caring!!!

Hels, I can eat plenty of garlic, too...that way it won't bother me, either.

But any way I can convince you to stop smoking tobacco?

There's also the possibility that the broken bone in your back is the cause of it. Does the coughing date to the injury or recovery experience at all?
There's something called cranial therapy or craniosacral therapy that can cure you if that is the case. Highly recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil.
Do switch to herbal cigarettes--sage and coltsfoot are a good mix for coughs.
Take a hot bath with lots of peppermint oil.
Make sure your posture is good, shoulders relaxed, neck straight, chest held high, and your breathing deep and regular.
Good luck,
Maximus
