I have a nasty cough that gets worse when i drink hot drinks. my abdominals and back now hurt from coughing so much. what can i do to make it go away?

See a doctor: The cough is probably inflammation in the upper airway above the voice box . It may also be related to inflammatory tracheobronchitis. Anti-inflammatory therapy and cough suppression may help. If cough is persistent ENT endoscopy and or bronchoscopy may be neccessary.

Cough: cough is a automatic reaction to clear airways. coughing too much can result in muscles being pulled and subsequent pain . You can dry honey , lemon an ginger drink but if you have fever or shortness of breath , chest pain or rashes or if cough is getting worse or not improving see a doctor
