return visit to the doc is your best bet, you need to get that cough checked out.
Coughs can be a symptom of so many things. Zoee is right, you need to talk to a doctor to ensure that the true cause of it is found.
Well adviced everyone, however sometimes to spite many investigations and medical discussioons people are still left with a cough and no medical help for it. Some of the inhalers can help, cough suppressents too if it is only a reflex cough, honey& lemon drinks, herbal teas, and sucking lozenges or boiled sweets.But the Gp has to eliminate all possible illness causes first before you try home remedies only.
I hope the GP can sort it for you if you go xxxxx
thank-you for your reply have appointment with nurse at surgery on wednesday will ask then
will make sure I check back to find out how you got on xxxxx
Hi, I used to have this, I was constantly coughing and trying to clear my throat. I was given carbocisteine which is a mucolytic that thins the mucus and have never had the problem since. I have capsules and I think it comes in liquid form too. So, if the doctor/nurse rules out an infection, maybe you could ask him/her if these are suitable for you. It took me ages via the copd nurse to get them, she kept saying I'll ask the doctor and months went by. I eventually went to see the doctor and got them there and then. Hope you've not got an infection though! Libby
thank-you libby,take the same tablets as you 2 a day but still got silly cough,sometimes i sound like a dog barking,but am going to see my nurse tommorow so will ask if theres anything else i can take,hope its not infection
