Suggestions, please. how do you get rid of a bad cough in 12 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on cause: Since coughing can be a symptom of many disorders, the response to treatment depends on appropriate treatment. A physician can diagnose the cause of the cough and with appropriate treatment the cough may subside in less than 12 hours. If whooping cough, it may take weeks or months.
