How can i stop coughing?!
Question: i keep on coughing because there are small particles in the top of my trachea dont worry they are from something i ate ages ago, i think there embedded in the mucus lining of the trachea.... ive seen some in my sputum but not all of them are coming out, what do i do, ive tried inhaling steam with vapo rub in it and i have tried cough medicines and cough sweets (cough drops, for you yanks)... what can i do? i thought that this was realted to the cold i had for the last week but the cold is gone and the cough keeps goin....is there a medicine that can be perscribed that stops coughing, im asking coz i kno that persistant hiccups can be stopped with an injection of some drug and they're invountary, so maybe there is something to stop an involuntary cough

You may actually have a chest infection. Go to your doctor. If the particles are yellow, brown or green and taste bad that's infection.
If you're coughing stuff up you don't want to stop coughing. That's the body's way of getting rid of stuff in your airways. Try taking a cough expctorant. It will help you get rid of what's stuck in your airways.
It's not normal to have food particals in your throat for ages. You can get aspiration pnuemonia from inhaling food, but you probably don't have that.
Cough medicine should do the trick.
Have you tried a teaspoon of honey? And of course see your doctor, you never know when more then you assume you have is not so.
take a bunch of laxitives then youd be scared to cough
My doctor prescribed me an inhaler (the same that people w/ashma use) years ago, when I had a cough that would not go away after a bad cold. It worked wonders! See your doctor, and perhaps she/he could prescribe one for you. Or try an OTC inhaler. Good Luck
Have you ever tried real honey or real honey and lemon juice? I always give to my kids when nothing else works and it works! You put a little honey on a spoon and eat it or you mix 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of honey and take it by the teaspoon right after coughing you can do that as many times as it takes without sideffects and usually it stops it right away or at least for awhile.
if there is something in there the doctor might need to remove it
