I Have Started With A Stupid Cough..........havent Had A Cold Or Anything, Just Coughing

[lilacben]

and it is making my throat feel hot. Plus my head aching. What is it.? I know you get a cough after a cold but never heard of you getting one before.?

Quick, mix a tablespoon of honey with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and eat it. If still coughing tomorrow do the same again. It should go if you catch it quick enough.

Sounds viral in origin.......Ibuprofen 400,mgs when necessary should settle the headache and the cough will take it's own course.

Hi lilac, I too hate honey but with cinnamon it does pass better. I find it worth it as if caught quick enough it does work.

Never heard of that remedy for a cough but worth trying for those who hate regular medicines.

coccinelle, Many thanks I will remember that advice but for now I havent caught it in time. Today I have a high temp. coughing with very sore ribs. raging headache. Had two paracetamols and two ibuprofen with no effect.! My throat feels like it is on fire. Oh boy I am feeling really rough today,! Is this that flu that is going around.? x
