Question 1

cant get rid of cough! please help!?

Accepted Answer

Cough treatment: The best approach to treat a cough is to identify the cause of the cough.  There are many different causes and treatment that is specific is more likely to be effective.  Continued use of cough suppressants is not the best approach.  A lung specialist, pulmonologist or allergist can assist in identifying the cause to find you relief.

how to get rid of cough for 2.5 years kid?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Make sure that he/ she does not have asthma.

Question 3

will listerine help get rid of cough?

Accepted Answer

No: Coughing comes from deeper part of your throat than where the rinse is expected to reach. Stopping of cough while using listerine can happen coincidentally, but listerine does not stop coughs. However, keeping the mouth clean is important so that the germs in your mouth won't infect the already irritated throat tissue from coughing. If coughing persists, see a doctor; it is not normal.

Question 8

how to get rid of cough in the 8th month of pregnancy without antibiotics.

Accepted Answer

Cannot say: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health, but here is some good general information.
can say pregnancy squishes the bottom of the lung.
can say it irritates the area and causes cough and other stimuli can damp down the feeling (vick's vapo rub best...and external so very safe)
can NOT say whether or not you might be starting into pneumonia!

Question 9

what is the fastest way to get rid of cough and cold for grade-school children?

Accepted Answer

AURI: Viral infection takes its course lasting 3 to 5 days unless with bacterial complications. Giving cough rx is only  helping the  kid to sleep. I would recommend taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) a tsp. At bedtime.

Question 10

i have been sick over 2 monthsi can't get rid of cough and yellow phlegm. i'm not a smoker. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Have you seen doctor: If you have had cough and purulent sputum for over 2 months, you have some kind of serious respiratory infection.  While smokers certainly get more of these, non-smokers can get any kind of infection as well. Your doctor needs to examine you, take a full history, probably get samples of your sputum for testing and probably a Chest Xray or other imaging studies of your lungs. See your doc NOW.
