Prolong coughing!!

[phreezee]

For prescription remedies, T3 with codeine will prevent overnight coughing.
If you have a chest/wheezing cough, get a Symbicort inhaler (generic name: budesonide and formoterol).

Last time I had a cough that got worse at night it was called post nasal drip and I was given mometasone to use twice a day for two weeks and it cured it. I currently have a cough that won't go away and will do the same. A sinus rinse would probably help as well, but I've never had any luck with those since my lungs' first instinct seems to be to divert all water into them as fast as possible. I don't have any faith in vitamins.

Thats the name of the spray I was given too! Between that and the puffer it definitely cuts down the duration of my cough.

Had neighbours come over for dinner in mid-October. Super nice husband and wife couple in their early 60s. She had a small cough throughout their stay. We all didnt think much about it, even though she said she had it for about three weeks because they are super active and have been daily walkers for years. She mentioned on her last few walks she was becoming short of breath, but again, we thought it may have been one of the strains of viruses going around. Long story short, it was fluid in her lungs, and a test on fluid turned out to have cancerous cells. Seems her body was ridding the cancerous fluid into her lungs and she is currently undergoing chemo. To me, if it lasts for a long time, get it checked out and maybe even get a second opinion. Being a older person myself, Ive been around long enough to have experienced and heard plenty of sad stories concerning our health system and doctors.

Honibe brand cough drops work reasonably well.

Turns out I'm a dirty liar. Feb 29th and I still have a cough from Christmas. Please ignore anything I've said in this thread - nothing works

Great, I caught the same shit in Richmond BC also a month ago. Coughing never stops. Guess I'm taking that shit with me to Japan.

Croup is going around and is mild in older kids and adults. My kid has been coughing since getting sick in December. One high dose of steroids 2 days ago, cough gone.

Mine started around Christmas, lasted till mid February. Had pneumonia to start and a sore throat that lasted 5-6weeks. I’m finally free.

Symbicort inhaler (generic name: budesonide and formoterol).

This is my solution too. Actually see improvement in a week of once a day...

The hippy solutions don't do a damn thing for me...

We've got a long history of croup in our house and dex also clears the kids up asap. This definitely isnt croup, its post nasal drip that doesn't seem to go away regardless of nasal sprays/rinses, puffers or steriods. I've been dealing with this type of shit since 2018 and usually its only about a month but its kicking my ass this time.

last two days have been slightly better so hopefully I am finally on the decline.

Our kids are coughing again. My wife is as well but her's is likely something different. I had on two occasions long periods of coughing due to post nasal drip. Do not want to get it anytime soon.

[danno]

my cold is back, coughing hadn't really gone away but it's back and getting worse. coughing up some green/yellow mucus. at least i don't have a sore throat yet, that's probably next. the post nasal drip is pretty frustrating. i thought i was free, took some advil
cold and sinus to deal with it.

How long has it been since I have sung the praises of nasal rinses for clearing up post-nasal drip?

[danno]

I did it previously during my last bout of the cold. Started it up again yesterday, steam showers are superior imo. Steam feels like it cleans out the lungs as well. I’ll be using all techniques to make this bout as short as possible. Wish I could get more sleep, last night was brutal

We probably need a refersher. You could combine it with your typical trickle charger spiel to just really drive the point home.

Take Vitamin C up until it upsets your stomach. Could be 10 grams, 20 grams, 30 grams a day. Back off dose that rumbled tummy. Do this until healthy.

I have a navage. Is that what you use?

I need to wrote it all down, and just copypasta it each time. Just a wall of text. Nose rinse, battery charger, cheap beer super-post.

Just the squeeze bottle for me. Homemade salt, and pulmicort on the advice of the surgeon who reamed out my sinuses.

[SKR]

I tried a Navage for a while. Something about my lungs that says "in here, boys" as soon as water goes in my nostrils. It would probably work good for a normal person but my body's first instinct is to drown itself.
