Isn't oramorph a pain killer (morphine)? Only ever been prescribed morphine for severe pain by a consultant. Never been prescribed anything for coughing though, but respiratory physiotherapist taught me how to clear my lungs of phlegm in order to avoid too much coughing. There are also physio methods to assist with cough prevention when the cough reflex is sensitive - Google "stop cough technique".
I have oramorph but to ease breathlessness. I have advanced COPD and late onset asthma but don't have problems with coughing. Has it been suggested by your doctor or nurse that it may help? If so it may be worth trying. It is prescribed in such a low dose as not to be addictive.
