How old is your sister? A barking cough that is not calmed by medication or inhalers sounds a lot like croup. She needs to be seen by a doctor. There are cough medications that contain codeine that are stronger than over the counter brands and in addition there may be other medication that the physician may prescribe to help with the irritation that is causing the cough in the first place. I'll even bet that she is having trouble eating and drinking because of the cough and is probably getting dehydrated. The doctor can help with that as well. I don't think that you should wait until morning. Take her to the ER tonight to be seen. Good luck.

go to a doctor? try a tablespoon of honey.

Time to send her to the doc. The over the counter stuff is not strong enough to break the cough cycle or worse she may have a real infection that needs meds.

I know it sounds silly, but try rubbing Vicks Rub on her feet. My mother drove us crazy with the coughing until someone told her about this. Now, before bed she does this and no more cough. Hey, Its worth a try!!

Whopping cough?
My suggestion: GO TO THE DOCTORS.

Any cough persisting more than a week,should be evaluated by a physician. Here are a few simple home remedies that will help to overcome cough. Have honey in a hot drink before bed time.To relieve fits of coughing due to dryness in the throat, suck a few pepper corns.

Well first off . Don,t kill your sister .
Second if she has been coughing that long , than I gotta ask ,why ? Has,nt she seen a Dr. yet ? If not , why ?
