1.ACT FAST. as soon as you feel the scratchy throat voice fading the dreaded first cough dont shake it off and say o its just a little NO NO it will grow and you know it.fight back against this fire breathing monster. 
2. TEA PLEASE. people say when your sick drink lots of water well tea I believe is better if you pick correctly here are some i use that work great and I will tell you why they do. GREEN TEA has been a remedy for coughs for 100s of years if it not broke don't fix it dude. its full of Antioxidants and will reduce upper respiratory infection. MINT TEA is again something used for 100s of years mint tea is a cleaner riding your body of harmful toxins it has a large amount of menthol, which thins mucus allowing it to break up and leave your body.ORANGE SPICE TEA it just makes it feel better and taste good lol but it really does make your throat feel a lot better. TEA WITH HONEY the honey soothes sore throats and you could just take 10 milliliters of honey. honey is an effective cough suppressant.
3.ORANGES . NO NOT STORE BOUGHT ORANGE JUICE SO DROP THAT GLASS IT won't DO SHIT FOR YOU I dont care if the box says 100% pure orange juice they are LIERS they actually take out all the health benefits and flavor from the juice to extends shelf life and artificial put the taste back so if you want to get better load up on that vitamin C start eating ORANGES LIKE A GORILLA
4.BRING ON THE NASTY. now anyone who has ever taken cough syrup knows what i bee taking abut that disgusting thick hard to swallow spoon full of yuck. but like it or not it helps so bring on the yuck it dont matter and dont forget the Tylenol
5.VICKS ON YOUR FEET!!!??? yah you read that right it may feel weird but believe it or not it helps put Vicks on your feet and socks.
6.NEVER HOLD A COUGH IN NEVER. you need to let it out or you won't get better the bacteria needs someplace to go other than YOU.
