Oh
Forgot to say, have you tried or are you able to take prescription cough medicine? I know some Drs think you’re a drug addict if you ask for any narcotics but not all do and you’re very sick. I have one called Hycodan and it really works like a charm, especially if you’ve gone over the edge and can’t stop coughing. You only need 1 teaspoon and my cough is gone for many hours. Some have Codeine in it instead but that makes me nauseous but you may be ok. My Dr knows I’m not an abuser and I only take it when I’m really bad, 1/2 bottle lasts for about 6 months now and I only take it when it’s brutal. Funny, sometimes I’ve taken it if I get a coughing jag and I have to go out because everyone will surely think I have covid!

I have been using musinex, seems to be working.

When I was in the hospital I was given different cough meds to little or no effect. I developed cardiomegaly with episodes of CHF which didnt help either but I control it with lasix at home. When dealing with this horrible cough, never hesitate to take what gives you relief and rest. Im so glad that Im not the only one who feels self conscious when coughing around others.
