I would suggest in taking some medicene. Theres this medicence that I take. It's called TheraFlu. It's amazing! If that doesn't work, heat up some water and put some lemon in it. Thera Flu comes in a hot tea liquid form or in a pill form, they both work just as well.

Don't give her any cough suppressants -- they are dangerous because they are suppressive. The mucous needs to be loosened and expelled.\n\nIt's probably the change of season that's affecting her. And it sounds like the cold nite air is aggravating the cough. \n\nYou might get a humidifier going in her bedroom. \n\nAlso, steam inhalations will help to break up the mucous in her chest and move it out. \n\nPut a dollop of Vicks Vaporub (or eucalyptus essential oil drops) in some boiling water. Place a towel over her head -- and have her hover over the boiling water -- breathe deeply for 10 mins. Repeat as often as needed -- but do the steam inhalations just before bed at night and just after she wakes up in the mornings. It will definitely soothe the coughing and help her expel the mucous.\n\nHope this helps:).

Honey is a good cough suppressant, there are lots of teas that are quite effective available at any grocery store. Humidifiers help greatly overnight and hard-tac candies can be effective as they keep your throat moisturized.

Tea with honey & lemon (actual honey & lemon, none of that Lipton flavored crap!)\n\nAlso (this one is annoying to do but does well for your throat and sinuses), brew camomille in a pot of really hot water and then cover yourself & the pot with a blanket and breathe in the camomille vapors for a while (don't over do it, if you're uncomfortable, get out from the blanket!!). It usually helps with coughing.

well if you have any other medical conditions(hypertension or diabetes) you should ask your pharmacist or md.  if the cough is productive go with guaifesin (like plain mucinex) this will thin the mucous. also drinking plenty of water will help.  if you have a dry cough and it is interfering with work or sleep a DM product will help.  the dextromethoraphan will suppress your cough.  hope this helps!

A fancy home remedy. Camomile and peppermint tea. You want to both the camomile and peppermint fresh. I was very sick, I was vomiting and could not stop. \nI got a hold of my parents and they bought me camomile and mint and made me some tea, they also told me to eat some of the mint tablets. The vomiting stopped. \n\nThis is just a suggestion. We all react differently to things. \n\nCheck this website out. It has a lot in it, but it is useful. \n\nSip at gingerale or 7 up. Crackers( worked when I was pregnant) warm coca cola. dry toast \n\nAgain these are just friendly suggestions. They may or may not work for you. \n\nGet better soon. :)

Use this old Navy cure to stop the dry heaves,\n\nShake a Coke until it's flat and start sipping.  Must be Coke, not Pepsi.  Something about the syrup in Coke does the trick.

You may have got to much of it in your system and never quite recovered because it trying to over power your ammune system right now, and a year is way too long to have a "cough". You need to go to the doctor if you already haven't, and don't rely on any over the counter medicine to help it, depending on what it really is it could make it worse.

Other than cough drops and numbing sprays heat up some lemonaid and drink it hot. Works wonders. Thats what I did when I was pregnant and couldn't take medicines. If the sore throat lasts long you may want to see a doctor and make sure it's not strep.

There are many different things you can do to ease the cold. Try drinking lots of Tea for example some ginger root tea. To make this you will want to boil about 4 cups of water. Get a 2" chunk of ginger and peal off the peal. chop it up into small slivers and put it in the boiling water. you will want to then turn down the heat and put a lid on the pan and then let it simmer for 10 to 15 min. Its recommended to not use sweetener, but i know for me i have to have a little bit of honey.\n\nNext a lot of people swear by garlic. I know... ewe... but it does have a lot of healing properties. Some say you should make a tea with it, but i say that is gross, so just take one clove of garlic, peal off the husk, and cut it in to small chunks, DO NOT CHEW! this will lead to bad breath. just swallow the garlic with water like tacking a pill.\n\nMy last recommendation is sweet lemon tea. My mom used to make this for me all the time when i was little and sick. She would boil some water put it in a glass with a whole lemon and some honey to sweeten it. I always felt better after drinking that tea. and it still works to this day, even though i have to make it my self now.

Did you recently have a cold?  If so, this cough can be the final stage of your cold, which in itself, is a virus.  This cough can linger for a long time (as much as 6 months!)  You may need to get something to suppress your cough.  As with all virus's, you will have to wait it out.\ngood luck!
