Any suggestions for getting rid of a cough besides going to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: It depends on the cause... Viral, allergy, sinus, reflux, etc can all cause a cough. You could drink lots of fluids and take otc meds but if it lasts a while or causes fever, pain or shortness of breath see your doctor.
