Over Covid, but night time coughing disrupts sleep for hours.

Doctor prescribed the pearls (benzonate) but they don't seem to work.

Do doctors still prescribe narcotics?

What works for you?

Haven’t had COVID (but currently have bronchitis) but Ricola cough drops and hot ginger tea with honey has been my go to.

ETA: Lots of water as well to thin mucus

Not sure if I have COVID cough or some other cough but I've been hacking it out on the treadmill.

I took the pearls. After a month of no relief, doctor prescribed an inhaler. Cough lasted for well over 3 months. I emailed my PCP a couple of times after concerned how long cough was lingering. He wasn’t concerned. He said it was normal for CoVid cough to linger for months. He told me to keep doing the inhaler. I did. And, at some point, it went away. But I took months.

COVID is a myth and your cough is a byproduct of you being tricked by the liberal media.

Wake up sheeple.

Cough syrup for 12 hours and then 3 Vegas bombs. Clears it right up.

I take once a day sinus pills. I try to go as long as I can before having to take one. I've had it since December.

In addition to what is listed by others above,

NAC sustain seemed to help me.

I’ve told other people and seem to feel that it helped them as well.

SUMMARY NAC’s antioxidant and expectorant capacity can improve lung function by decreasing inflammation and breaking up mucus.


Point #4 in the article gives more info - good luck
