Question 1

please tell me what can you take for dry cough besides halls while at work that won't make you sleepy or drowsy?

Accepted Answer

Cough: Unfortunately most (prescribed by physicians) cough suppressants have sedative effects. The 'Dayquil and Nightquil' popular OTC brands have enough alcohol, a bad idea. Try some cardamom seeds (slowly suck for 3 - 10 minutes). Also make sure the person is not on medications hat can induce cough (ACE inhibitors). If still not better see physician to exclude also asthma.

Question 2

can't sleep very well without taken heavy duty sleep aid muscle relaxer or nyquil.  and even when i do take the meds i still feel sleepy no matter what time of day i  go bed and get really bad coughing where i can't catch my breath and almost vomits?

Accepted Answer

Assessing sleep: Taking muscle relaxants or NyQuil is not going to help you to get quality/natural sleep. I would suggest talking to your physician about getting a sleep study to try to determine what is causing your sleep difficulties. You noted that you are on Prilosec; reflux can interfere with sleep quality at times too, so you might speak to your doctor about evaluating that aspect as well.
