How do you heal yourself from cough?

Cough and colds may go at the same time, I had this experience of mine that made me realize that I must not take cough and colds for granted. At school,when I was on my nurse internship at the hospital, we had a main circle that time with our clinical instructor. Unfortunately, I coughed ones and it was so loud like a productive cough sounds like, you can just imagine, in a quite or silent hospital, the only sound that leaked was my cough, ewww, my duty mates laugh quietly by covering their mouth but with no hurt feelings, because I too, laughed at myself. The hospital personnel, said "who was that?" and I stay silent.. It was really an unforgettable experience for me, and I promise from that day on, I will never get a cough nor colds. So what I did, I get my cough treated with antibiotic augmentin as prescribed by the doctor and I always do respiratory precaution to prevent spreading my illness. I'm taking a balanced diet to have a strong immune system. After a week my cough stays away from me, and I'm so happy and relieved. Now for my prevention, I take hygienic ways, drinking and eating safe water and food, taking vitamins , like vitamin C as well said by you, and drink a lot of lukewarm water for about two to three liters per day. While you're on a travel, keep your mouth and nose covered to prevent too much inhaled of irritant particles. Be healthy and be strong, its been 2 years of having cough and cold free. I thank God for giving me good health and a happy comfortable life.

thats so true. myself, i have emphezema and so sometimes the inhaler has to be used. but other then that you can take a couple doses of Mucinex and that will usually clear it up. here lately son and i have been drinking that energence-C drink it helps.

my wife put some vapor rub on my neck and cover it with a hanky before i sleep. then put some vapor rub too on my chest and make sure i have a complete rest. there are foods she does not want me to take when i have a cough like chocolates and she make sure i have a lot of intake of hot drinks and one of that is ginger ale. i am a picky eater but she make sure i eat right so the cough will be gone easier.

hello there, first, i go take a rest.but make sure my neck is covered first. then, waking up i would buy a cough syrup or tablet. probably buy some strepsils too, after meal, i would drink calansi tea or juice, and i make sure it's hot. i don't drink cold, most are hot rnough to burn my toungue

For chronic cough, I chew a small slice of Ginger. It is very beneficial. Since it is herbal it has no side effects.
