What effectively stops coughing?!


Question:

What effectively stops coughing?

Every time I get a cold, it turns into bronchitis. After the antibiotic treatment, I then develop a non-productive cough that lasts for 3 months. This happens each Spring & Fall & is really annoying.
What alternative therapies are effective to stop coughing?
Thanx.

I don't smoke. A Doctor is who's prescribed the non-effective meds. Delsym is useless.


Answers:

Believe it or not, I had a chronic cough that lasted more than 10 years and I drove everyone around me nuts. I had been to many doctors that could not find out what the problem was. Finally I went to a doctor who claimed it was acid reflux (although I never had the symptoms). The doctor prescribed Prevacid once every morning 1 hour before I had anything to eat or drink. I did just as I was told and it took about 2 months and my cough went away. This lasted about 5 or 6 years then I quit taking the Prevacid and about 1 month later my cough came back. I started taking it again and following the exact directions and within 3 months I stopped coughing, that was about a year ago and I have not coughed since.
