HOW DO I STOP COUGHING?

[SeekingWater]

I have a cold, and just like every other cold I end up with a sinus infection and I guess what they call a nasal drip.

I end up coughing and hacking my brains out because of a tickle in my throat that I just cannot get rid of.

I can feel that it is a nasal drip, but can't get it out of my throat, or get it to stop tickling. It's hurting me to cough this much!!!

The last time I had this I almost cracked a rib.

HELP this is driving me and my family nuts, I can't breath for more than a minute without coughing, I can't sleep at night and I can't be going to school and nonstop coughing during lectures if this continues!!!

coughing is actually the way the body gets rid of the germs that's making you sick. you have the sinus infection because your body can't destroy the cold properly. so your brain sends a signal to the throat which is the tickling. then your cough out those flu germs. get it checked out by your doctor. hell probably prescribe you some antibiotics that will help your immune system fight off the flu germs.

It sucks but you can't do much but go to the doctor or deal with it.

Your best to drink warm tea with honey in it
you could try Halls cough drops melted in hot tea
either one of those remedies will help your cough.
Also, if your coughing you got Bronchial flu too
which is bronchitis so you want bring up as much
mucous as possible. The worst thing to do is let
sinus drainage stay in there or swallow it cause
you can develop Strep throat/ Pneumonia

Try nyquil for a couple of days and see what happens. It helped me get rid of a very bad cough I had that lasted for a while.

Nothing you can do about it.
