How to cure a persistent cough/running nose?!
Question: How to cure a persistent cough/running nose.?
A cold has been going around lately and my coughing is so darn terrible that I can rarely sleep unless conked out on cold medicine. Plus my nose is running 24/7 unless I have a couple of tissues shoved up my nostrils.
My cough typically gets worse at night, though I cough thoroughly all day long. It's an annoyingly phlegm-y cough; deep and barking.
The cold medicine doesn't work too well for me other than for use as a sleeping aid.
*Please* don't suggest that whiskey mixture as I am a minor and am completely against alcohol.
If you have any suggestions besides cold medicine, I'm all ears.
