anything for a persisting cough?

Here is a site that has much good information. Usually these remedies work. I haven't had a cough in years so I've never tried them, but others have, as you will read. The site does not sell anything, it is merely people talking about home remedies. They are very good. www.earthclinic.com/CURES/coughs.html I hope you find something that helps.

It all depends if it's a wet or a dry cough. I think your best bet would be to get something from your chemist.

You can try the natural remedies by putting a native egg in your window and leave it there overnight.When the following morning appears,try to have a glass of hot tea drink squeezed with 5 pieces of lemon.Then hold the egg from your window and try to make an opening in the topmost and put a few salt and drink it fresh directly to your mouth and then drink your lukewarm tea with the squeezed lemon.You could observe that your coughing would be milder after you have taken your tea drink.I wish I have help you in a simple way.

the cough seems to be always the last thing to go. if it is a dry cough, you should keep drinking lots of water and warm drinks.

If you have taken adequate medicines then have patience it will get over.there are many natural remedies.eat tulsi leave with pepper(4 or 5) in morning daily,or you can drink milk boiled with a little turmeric this best for realising cough.there is one more way but a little tough drink as much water as you can in morning and vomit once.keep this doing daily in morning untill you feel relief.i hope these will help you.take care.
