What should I do if I have a kinda bad cough?!


Question: I think it's from this barn place I went to a few days ago. It was really cold and dusty there, so my step-mom thought that was the reason I've been coughing a lot lately.
At first, I could barely talk. But it's been getting a little bit better every day. I've been drinking a lot of hot tea, and that seems to be helping. Also, I've tried to drink a lot more water since I know I don't usually drink enough.

What else should I do?

Oh.. I can talk right now. My voice sounds normal (that's what my mom said anyway) and it doesn't hurt to talk. But I'm still coughing a little bit, which I hardly ever do normally.

Gargle with warm lightly salted water. It should help get the bacteria off of the back of your throat.

This works for me all the time!!
1 cup of hot tea
1 lemon( lime perferred) "cut it into four and squeeze into tea"
2 to 3 tea spoons of honey
1 to 2 tea spoons of sugar

their called "cough drops" xD

i know what you're talking about tho...i had a terrible cold last week too
