Hey guys, well for the last 3 weeks, I've had an awful tickly cough, changed nebs and anti bioctics 3 times in the last 2 weeks, was on IVs previous that for 2 weeks. I am tearing my hair out, I've only had two hours sleep last night, did extra nebs, physio, sips of prue honey ( I find a few tsps of honey helps smetimes) , honey and lemon cough syrup, smothered in Vic and sucked on cough sweets and still an awful night! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I feel fine, lung function hasn't dropped, and what I'm coughing up varies, atm its just loose saliva with bits of yellow sputum and its spewing out of me ( sorry for gory details) this cough, its really getting me down and my mood has dropped, my ribs hurt and I feel like crying all the time, I would just like a few good hours of sleep, why is that sooo much too ask?!. My mum is concerned and hates to see me sad. I have clinic tmoz so will discuss options then. I would be fine if it wasn't for this BLOODY COUGH!! I'm just functioning atm, working from home, cancelled my driving lessons as coughing fits ( I had one behind the wheel last week, pulled over but was tired and embarassed after just wanted to curl up and sleep)

What do you guys do when you have this? Anything I could try to control this cough? Apologies for my long rant.

I cough all the time so i am pretty used to it. Once in a blue moon i will have a cough that really happens for no reason...just annoying. Do you have Nyquil where you live? That quiets the cough so you can sleep. It is only a temp fix but I would try anything to get that cough to stop. I also drink tons of hot green tea when I wake up in the middle of the night coughing. Best of luck to you.
