try some antihistamines one a night. My mum used to cough all the time and a non smoke, she started taking these and it stopped. Morrisons or tesco do a cheap own brand. think its the morrisons one in red packet not the blue xx

Do you take any prescription medicines such as tables for blood pressure?

[twinny-15]

Thanks for your help yes I do have tablets for high blood pressure

Then I would go and see your doctor. Blood pressure tablets often cause a persistent cough. It sounds as if you need a change of tablets. (not tables as in my previous posting!).
