Need diagnosis....: Your cough needs to be diagnosed before it can be effectively treated. Suppressing a cough is not always the best treatment. Possible etiologies for your cough include acute bronchitis due to infection, bronchospasm from any cause, gerd, post-nasal drip or a combination of factors. All of these have entirely different treatments so see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment of your cough!
