Best cough remedy

[cjcouple]

Lay it on me. I'm super congested and have a nasty cough. I get these fits that make me almost puke/choke. I'm sucking on cough drops non-stop because it's the only relief I get but my mouth feels disgusting and the second I finish I start coughing again. Aaarrggghh

Help. I don't care how insane it sounds. Tell me them all.

Aw that sucks. I found that robitussin with expectorant was the best since it forced the gross stuff out. Also mucinex helps cut down on all that too. Hope you feel better!

I've been doing the robitussin during the day. Ans nyquil at night. it's not touching this. Blah

Cough syrup with codeine. It's the only thing that truly works. You need a prescription though.

My doctor recommended Mucinex DM to me once.

I just saw on Pinterest that pineapple juice is supposed to fight a cough. Worth a try.

I'm in the same boat, but 38 weeks pregnant. I'm going crazy!!! Let me know if you find something that works. I have a little Vicks steamer that helps for a little while, but it doesn't last.

I had the worst cough toward the end of my fourth pregnancy. Once I had the baby it cleared up instantly.

Good to know!

Ditto the codeine cough syrup. For some reason it comes in a giant bottle and I've only ever needed like 2-3 doses of it before it finally chased off the cough. That said, if you have a lot of congestion still, you're going to need to get rid of that first. I've been on a combination of Sudafed and Flonase to try and open up my sinuses enough to clear the infection, and it's working really well.
