What's the best thing to stop a cough being the end of a bad flu virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: You may want to see your doctor for cough medicine with codeine or Tessalon Perles, (benzonatate) which can stop the tickle. If unable to see a doctor, try cough medicine with dextromethorphan (DM). Take as directed on the bottle. Stay hydrated, drink 6-8 glasses of water daily.
