Sometimes I get really hot water from the sink and mix some salt in it, then gargle with it. It helps with the irritation.

I find that if I get whiskey drunk the coughing subsides.

Gargle warm salt water, sleep sitting up, and sleep with a light blanket so you won't get overheated....

60% of the time it works everytime

Yeah, I never take cough medicine/cough drops. I usually go straight for combating the drip. Decongestant, or cold and flu medicine, mucinex, anything that applies to clearing up what is causing my congestion.

Wife and I just got over that crap. Actually last night was the first night I slept all night without waking up coughing. She went to the Dr and got some antibiotics and prescription cough syrup and had it for 2 weeks. I had it for damn near 2 1\2 weeks without going to Dr. I Took nyquil, robitussin, alka seltzer, cough drops, you name it. Would always be a lot worse at night. It sucks but will eventually work its way out and get better.

I don't understand why people mess with over the counter shite

Go get a shot, a Z Pack, and maybe if youre lucky, some syrup. Knock it out in a day or two

Get a bottle of coke and a Mentos candy.

Drop in the Mentos and then chug the drink.

Man my wife and I have been rocking colds with coughs for about a week now. We both got cortisone shots last Thursday and Z packs filled Friday. Laid up all weekend. I was fine by Sunday but she still has a bad cough. Was shocked z pack didn't knock it out and know she's got the prescription cough medicine. That better work...

Good luck. Took about a week with the prescription cough syrup for my wife to knock it out.

This is true, BUT if that doesn't do it...then Vicks VapoRub on your feet followed by socks. 

Works every-single-time


100% true!

I just woke her up, layered her feet in Vicks Vapo-Rub and put socks on her. She hasn't coughed once and is now passed out. Interesting... Making some progress.

The shot has some merit, assuming it's steroids. A Z Pack is about as effective as a pack of M&Ms for a cough. Whoever prescribed that either doesn't know what they're doing or likes tricking people into thinking they feel better. And as far as the syrup, you're probably as good better off with honey and/or chloraseptic, other than that it won't knock you out. Granted, if you're getting a steroid shot, you probably need something to knock you out that night.
