An appeal ......does anyone have a remedy they can pass on for a persistent cough please......I have tried all sorts of potions,the doc gave me nowt only an inhaler which is turn is not working....I am pretty desperate,so if anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful.
I did have an ecg and chest x/ray last week but don't get the results for a couple of week.
The remedies that I have tried are .....
Pulmo Bailly
Covonia
Venos
Honey and lemon....

I also have the same problem Jann, tried all on your list apart from Pulmo B.
When you find the right one, please let me know, or we could cough in unison and start a new singing trend

We had to call an ambulance last night at 7:45....I was taken into A&E with breathing problems and persistent coughing !!! had an ecg , blood tests and chest xray....all was clear so was allowed home at midnight with a prescription for a nasal spray for rhinitis !!! I have coughed all night,so what more can I do,I am worn out.

Bliddy Hell. How about steaming over a bowl with Friar's Balsam, or have you tried that?

No Mons I haven't ,my nurse daughter suggested a similar remedy using Vick,just might try that,although I now have the nasal spray and hoping that will give me some relief,

You sound just like me Jann, I have had it months now. The back of my throat seems to be blocked up and affects my breathing too, the cough is horrible and helps you produce more Phl.....m, its a vicious circle. Antibiotics did'nt touch it, I've been sucking Victory V's and Strepsils.

The nasal spray which was prescribed is BECLOMETASONE which you can buy from the chemist,might be worth a try,I have just started the treatment so I can't comment yet...

I had no alternative yesterday but to see my doctor who was very sympathetic and prescribed a linctus called Pholcodine,had a much better night,so it's just a matter of waiting for the results of the tests I had done

Hopefully after a couple of better nights sleep, you'll be feeling much better
