Dorothy,
I'm sorry you are having issues with coughing which is common with lung issues. The only thing I can tolerate is honey. I take approximately 1/2 Tab. of locally grown honey, which greatly helps me. Any OTC or prescribed cough medicines upset my stomach. It might be worth a try and, I personally, love honey.
Take care and good luck.

Coughing is often caused in our population by incomplete clearance. My routine is 2x day nebulizer levalbuterol and 7% saline followed by airway clearance. Right before bed I also do 5-10 minutes of autogenic drainage. This helps me sleep through the night without coughing. Also, exercise during the day is helpful for the lungs.
