Simply try a herbal cough mixture that can give you symptomatic relief as well as prevent further coughing and protect against infections. I recommend Cofrem-5, it has worked wonders for persistent cough and does not cause drowsiness and the sick feeling after most sedating cough mixtures. I found it on www.sindor.com

Oral and topical diphenhydramine (Benadryl); topical hydrocortisone (Cortaid); calamine lotion; colloidal oatmeal baths (Aveeno).\n\nSee a doctor if it persists. Call 911 if you have wheezing

If you have had a cold for more than a couple of weeks, it might be a bacterial infection.  You can see a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics to help you get over it.\n\nMany over-the-counter medications contain the same decongestant: pseudoephedrine.  This is a good decongestant whether you buy it alone or in combination with other ingredients (pain reliever, antihistamine, etc.).  If all you need is a decongestant, just buy pseudoephedrine alone.  You can get it at basically any pharmacy, although you might have to ask for it because many stores keep it locked.  (Pseudoephedrine can be used to make methamphetamine, so stores will only allow you to buy limited amounts.)  Another helpful ingredient is guaifinesin, an expectorant.  Don't worry about the brand name; just look for these two ingredients.  You can buy them together or separately.  Your pharmacist can surely give you recommendations for the symptoms you are experiencing.

Unfortunately, allergies can develop at any time in your life.  You can try an over the counter antihistimine to see if your symptoms are allevieated.  Your local pharmacist is an excellent resource and can answer most of your questions about allergies.  If that doesnt help though you should definetely see your doctor.  Also you should see your doctor if you have any temperature.

YOu must follow this up with Benadryl or diphenhydramine, so that the problem goes away.  The epi-pen will only take care of the breathing problems associated with the allergic reaction.  The allergen is still a problem, so use the Benadryl to alleviate this.\n\nAlso, see a Dr. after a reaction this bad.

I use a bronchial inhaler that helps me out with that, \n\nGo to your local drugstore and ask for primetine mist (epinephrine). This will help a ton but dont over do it, follow instructions. Its over the counter and should cost about 10-14 dollars. Use the generic brand, its the same thing as those high cost ones.

I would beware of non-natural remedies like chloral hydrate, Nembutal, etc.\n\nDo you get enough exercise?  When people work hard enough, they usually have no problem sleeping.  If your work is mostly mental, then you need to incorporate some prolonged physical activity into your daily routine.\n\nDo not drink any coffee or tea for three hours prior to bedtime.  Do not drink warm milk as some suggest.\n\nA glass of water at bedtime is helpful in many ways.\n\nYou can also look up insomnia on http://www.webmd.com\n\nI have allergies (ultra-severe).  I take benadryl, an antihistamine.  This is not natural either, but it has been used many, many years without obnoxious, toxic effects.\n\nIt is the ingredient in some mild OTC sleeping remedies, but do not buy them, you will pay more for the same ingredient you can get for less at the dollar store.\n\nJust look in the allergy med section, you can get 24 pills of 25 mgm each for a dollar.  Benadryl soothes bad coughing that will keep you up all night, also makes most people drowsy, very easy to fall asleep with inactivity.\n\nThis dose would not put me to sleep as I have had to use this for years, but it should do the trick for you.\n\nAnd you don't have to worry about it being so strong you will burn to death in a fire, or not hear someone breaking your door down &c.\n\nIf you chew it (transiently nasty) and swig it down with Ginger Ale it will work faster.  Do this about 15--20 minutes before bed.  But not earlier.\n\nIt is called diphenhydramine (the generic name), look for that rather than the brand name.  Do not take more than two or you will really get zonked out.\n\nThere are some herbal remedies to try, but avoid mixing these with other methods.  See what webmd says.

I have had a really bad cough this past week and the only natural remedy that has worked for me is a humidifier and drinking lots of water to make the cough more productive and to also make the cough not so dry to where it hurts so bad to cough!\nI know that's a runon sentence, oh well, but I think you got my point!

It usually masks the problem until your body fixes it.  Most over the counter cold/flu medicine are ineffective.\n\nMake sure you don't take things you don't need.  If you only have a cough...take only cough medicine...not the 'all-in-one' (Nyquil style).

You can try these herbal remedies.  \n\nGinkgo Biloba 40 mm three times a day.  It reduces the amount of histimine that the body produces and thus reduces the potential for having an allergic attack. \n\nGarlic  500 mm a day It reduces swelling and inhibits allergen induced asthma reactions to pollen.\n\nReishi, a medicinal mushroom.  It inhibits inflamation caused by histimine, which causes your allergy reaction.    420 mm a day\n\nRosemary  10 drops of this essential oil in your bath will help open up your breathing passages.  Or  take 1/4 cup fresh rosemary needles in 4 cups hot water for 10 minutes, strain off the needles and drink the tea.  No more than 3 cups of this tea a day.

Try an otc allergy medication and see if it works, take for several days and see if you feel better, then stop and see what happens. If stuffiness returns you have an allergy.
