Cough

I am just soooooo sick of it. Is there anything in the world that can cure a cough? Medicines haven’t worked so far. I have taken everything from counter medicines nyquill, dayquill, delsym, robitussin to prescription(no clue about the names). The fever, cold, aches…everything went away but the cough just won’t budge. Every person I meet has their own remedy which ofcourse doesn’t work. Honey, honey with lemon, honey and lemon in water, honey and black pepper, green tea with honey and lemon, black tea with honey and lemon, lemonade, some drink with 380% of vit C, boiled eggs, rice pudding, bananas, chicken broth, beef broth, spicy foods, bland foods I have tried it all and more.

Anything left?

Re: Cough

Oh I remember that. The pretty candy pink nice smelling and sweet tasting syrup that my mum used to give my little bro when he was sick. It works on adults too!?!

Re: Cough

FF Ji, lagta hey that you have tracheaites (infection of the trachea) and cough medicine is not the way to go. You need some anti-biotics. Even plain boiled water is good for that.

:jhanda:

Re: Cough

Anti-biotics or plain boiled water? I should go to a different doctor. This idiot knows nothing. He said I will give u medicine just for ur 'tasallee' no medicine can fix this virus it will take 2-3 weeks to complete its course. Gadhay ka bacha.

Re: Cough

of course it does…it works on me. just because it says from 0-7 doesn’t mean its true. I never have a need for it though, i never get ill :bummer:

why dont you take a swig of some brandy-medicinal purposes and all :halo:
My daddi usually makes us drink honey and lemon syrup with black pepper,she makes it herself!

Re: Cough

FF Ji, are you calling your doctor Khooti da Putar? If you have discomfort of throat (coughing) it is a sign of infection. Spicy food is very bad for this… believe it or not, I found Halls candies very helpful. I had the infection of the trachea too.

Re: Cough

then why did the doctor examine your ass?

Re: Cough

because he wanted to make sure that all was well.

Re: Cough

Well technically he is that too. Only a gadhi would have married a gadha thus producing this doctor. I am having my 23rd Halls candy since yesterday. Maddy how many days did it take you to get well? It's my eleventh day today.

Re: Cough

Femme - you sound so cute when sick. Is all well otherwise?

Re: Cough

Yes besides the fact that I cannot breathe properly, sleep properly, talk properly all else is well.

Re: Cough

Femme, I have the worst cough ever. I picked it up in Saudi ... it's been three weeks and I've gone through Canadian cough syrup, Saudi cough syrup, Pakistani cough syrup ... I was drinking everything out of the bottle. I think I overdosed but I still have the cough.

My ribs hurt too and I can't breath properly. :(

Re: Cough

Out of all the syrups mentioned above, the best is Canadian. it has alcohol in it. :mudhosh:

Re: Cough

Mehnaz my sympathies. Ribs, back, shoulders, arms, neck, back of the head…everything is in pain. Its been the worst spell ever :teary1:
