Coughing +++++++

[tinkerbell23]

I cannot stop coughing... Theres almost no let up! Came on all of a sudden... I cant breathe in without a coughing fit and its making me want to vomit!!

I dont have asthma etc...

Ive got out the bath and am lying down as im working tonight. Ill drive to the pharmacy along the road- was going to try that "bronchostop" mixture??

Any ideas? Its miserable!!!!!!!!! X

By the way it isnt tickly or a chesty cough i am not bringing anything up.... But it still feels like its from my chest!!!

I had antibiotics a few wks ago for my sinuses! Im nightshifr the next two nights i just need something i can guzzle on nightshift and ill be fine lol xx

I'M not sure that "cough medicines " will be the answer, if you are going to work tonight i would take Ibuprofen 400mgms before you go and then the same dose every 4 hours.

Whooping cough?

I find ordnary cough medicines don't work at all, but this bronchostop may work, I've seen it advertised a heck of a lot lately and I may try it the next tme I have a nagging cough. I sympathise tinks.

I had a shocker of a cough last jan, so bad it made me fight for breath. Doc gave me ventolin which made it better almost immediately and fixed it completely in 48 hours. He said that the virus had caused this in a lot of people and they were finding ventolin better than cough meds or antibiotics provided the chest was clear.

Thank you all! Chest is clear... An inhaler (that isnt mine LOL) did help and it hasnt came to much thankfully!!!!

Survived one nightshift so wish me luck for tonights hahahah xxxx
