Coughs are usually nature's way of clearing secretions from the nose, throat or lungs. Dry coughs are caused usually by a virus and can be helped by increasing your fluid intake, inhaling steam from a kettle and hot drinks. A prolonged cough for more than two weeks is reason to see the doctor.

Coughing is the only way.\nI have found that drinking lots of water all day really helps with this since it keeps it from being too sticky.

still getting over mine as we speak!! it last two weeks and started out as bronchitis first (yuck!!)\n\ndrink lots of fluids-colds can dehydrate you quickly and make you feel worse so make sure to drink. water is best-avoid caffeine b/c it will make you more dehydrated\n\n-suck on ice cubes or hard candies if you have a sore throat\n-put a warm mist humidifier in your room at nite to help you breathe better and to also keep your throat from drying out\n-hot tea w/honey is very soothing \n-take nyquil at night to help you sleep\n-don't do too much activity during the day and sleep as much as possible-rest is the best thing to a speedy recovery\n-drink orange juice to help boost your immune system (the vitamin c in it will help to this)\n\nhope you feel better soon

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!

My Great Grandma used to make an elixir of Honey and lemon juice in a cup and have us stir it with a spoon then lick it off to control coughing.  It works for a sore throst.  Also She was a firm believer in Vicks vapor rub to cure nasal and chest congestion.  YOu have to put it under your nose, all over your chest and back then wear a tshirt to bed with a bandana around your neck.  It also works good for muscle pain too.

salt water to taste (believe me...even though it sounds weird) or if you like, V8 juice.  \n\nSalt is great for easing nausea.

When you've had a cold, the airways in your lungs get irritated and produce phlegm.  The phlegm you're getting now will decrease now your cold's gone.  \n\nThere is something you can do to help, get a big bowl of steaming water, put a towel over your head and bend over the bowl, the towel catches the steam and you inhale it through your mouth.  This will help loosen the phlegm so you can cough more of it up.  I have asthma and am more susceptible to phlegm when I get a cold and this works a treat for me.\n\nDrinking orange cordial can in fact increase phlegm production in some people, maybe this is the case with you.  If possible try to drink fresh orange, it also has more vitamin C in it anyway.

Anything with ginger in it helps. Ginger beer, ginger tablets, crystalized ginger etc.

My mom used to make a cup of warmed honey, lemon juice, water and a small amount of whiskey.  It used to make me sweat and broke up my cough.  I hated the taste of it, but it did seem to work.  I have recently used that Airborne stuff mentioned in the previous post and it works also.  My doctor recommends Robitussin with the expectorant, that thins the mucus and allows you to cough the junk up out of your lungs.  Hope you're feeling better soon.

Take your medicine, of course, but anything that will provide nourishment.  If your throat is sore, consider instant mashed potatoes made with milk.  Soups, broths, cottage cheese, anything soft that you can comfortably eat.  Protein drinks and meal replacements are expensive but would do in a pinch.\n\nIt is also very important to stay hydrated.  If you can't stand plain water, try herbal teas (peppermint is soothing).\nMy favorite peppermint tea is made by Traditional Medicinals (www.traditionalmedicinals.com).  I can only get it at health food stores.
