Best remedy for nagging cold/cough...

Rschmuker

Help I am going crazy this week with cold like symptoms that I "thought" was seasonal allergies, as did my OB. But I'm not so sure anymore... . Any suggestions for a nagging cough/sore throat treatment that is safe right now? What has worked best for you?

I wish I had a remedy! I am searching for one too. I just want to go to sleep as soon as I get home from work!!!

Nasacort over the counter for at least 1-2 weeks and Afrin for 3-5 days only. The Nasacort takes longer to work and the Afrin will work immediately. Your cough and sore throat are probably from post nasal drip (snot running down the back of your throat).

I never developed a cough, but I had sore throat and severe sinus pressure/drainage.  What was a miracle for me was the NeilMed Sinus rinse.  It's gross but effective.

So far I tried the tea with honey and that seemed to get me a little rest at night, sitting up of course, I still can't lay down like I want to . And the cough drops during the day. I will try the washcloth tonight, as I am STILL awake . The nasal cleansing kit looks promising... I will need to go get one ... Thanks for all the responses. As if I wasn't exhausted and sleepless from all the other wonderful symptoms already... Argh

Ugh I'm in the same boat... Horrible cough and congestion. My ob suggested robitussin for the cough but it did absolutely nothing. I am miserable right now and my chest hurts so much. Hoping it goes away soon.
