Question 7

what can i take otc for a cough due to bronchitis what they prescribed guafesin cough syrup isn't helping at all my cough gets so bad at night & morng?

Accepted Answer

Dextromethorphan: Look for something with dextromethorphan in it... that will work better than guiafenesin. My personal favorite is Mucinex (guaifenesin) DM. (Actually any product with a DM behind it should have dextromethorphan).  Cough is usually worse at night because of the body's biorhythms. It is worth looking into 'why' you have such a bad cough -if this doesn't work. (Sometimes if you have reactive airways it's worsened)

Question 8

why do i get tremors from cough syrup ?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without knowing the contents of the syrup. You may be reacting to dextromethorphan, a usual content of cough syrups.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Many causes: Cough has many causes, some benign and some serious. The most common causes include lung disease/asthma, reflux, and sinonasal disease. Also medications, such as lisinopril, have been shown to cause cough. But also lung tumors cause cough. Persistent cough should be evaluated by a physician to figure out the cause and how to treat it.
