If you have some honey put a teaspoon of honey in a little cup and thin it to cough syrup consistency with a little hot water.  Stir until well blended.  Since this is a barking type cough this may not work as well.  Be sure to monitor this cough and if it gets worse or she sounds really bad take her to get it checked out if needed.

The best treatment is; see a Doctor.\n\n But if you mean a home remedy, there are many. I personally take tylenol every 4-6 hours to keep my fever down ,a multi-vitamin, extra vitamin C, eat only soft foods to avoid scatching my throat worse (and to make swallowing easier), I gargle with peroxide (of coarse I do not swallow it), and I warm 'Vicks' in the microwave until it's barely clear (makes it more spreadable) and with two Q-Tips taped together (over lapping a tip on each)I dip the long Q-Tip in the 'Vicks' (touch it to my lip to make sure it's not too hot) I get a bunch on the swab and swab my tonsil area. After doing this i do not swallow for atleast 5 minutes,  within about 15 minutes I get so much relief in my throat that if I couldn't swallow, I can then. I every hour suck on a popcicle or a half a cup of ice etc. to keep the swelling down in my throat. I peroxide and Vicks my throat every 8 hours. Normally in a couple of days, I'm well. It's and 'ole time remedy' and I've been doing this for 30 years and so has the rest of my family.\n Now, if you do this, that's your choice but I'm sure you knew the 'NORMAL ADVICE, Go to the Doctor'!!, right.? So for all you 'Do Gooders', "going to the Doctor has been discussed and as for what my family and I do, it's 'NUNYA', (breaking it down for ya, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS) so your advice on what I do save it for someone who wants to hear what you have to say!!!

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.

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.

Hi Dear.,\n\nYou need to make your parents hear you.  For now get some hot tea.   That will loosen you up some so you can breath.  I personally recommend Mortin or Tylenol verse Asprin but whatever you have is better than nothing.  Take you temp. before drinking or taking anything.  If you still can't get them to listen tonight prop yourself up in bed.  Personally you may have to unset your parents and call 911.  Feel better.

Chicken soup is one of the best home remedies, it helps hydrate you and helps make your nose run thus getting rid of some congestion.\nOtherwise you can eat and drink anything you want just make sure you get extra fluids so you are really well hydrated.  This helps to thin out the congestion so you can get it out of your sinuses/nose and if it is in your chest it lets you cough it up and get rid of it as well.\nYou don't, repeat DON'T need an antibiotic for a cold so please don't go to your DR and yell and scream until he gives you one. Save them for when you really neet them and they'll work better.

Honey with whiskey.  It's an old rememdy but it works.\n\nIf that won't work with you due to age or morals, try lots of peppermint tea.  Keep your throat covered at night, and make sure that it's comfortably warm in your bedroom.\n\nIf you're still having problems, or if it leads into an infection go to your doctor and ask for an antibiotic like Keflex or Zithromax.\n\nAlso, keep yourself super hydrated.  \n\nVitamin C is good for the immune system, but I know that when I've had colds a raw throat isn't good with orange juice, or any other fruits with "stearic acid" -- which is what Vitamin C is -- in it.\n\nTry Vitamin E.  It really will help.

Dude, if you've had a cough and cold for a year there's no home remedy for it. Get a TB test. Sounds like you could be seriously ill. At the very least, you might have sever asthma.

A mild sore throat associated with cold or flu symptoms can be made more comfortable with the following remedies: \n\nIncrease your liquid intake. \n\nWarm tea with honey is a favorite home remedy. \n\nUse a steamer or humidifier in your bedroom. \n\nGargle with warm salt water several times daily: ¼ tsp. salt to ½ cup water. \n\nTake over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol Sore Throat®, Tempra®) or ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\n\nI hope that helps.

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!
