How can i get rid of a dry hacking cough?

  • i have been coughing for over a week. i cough so bad my sides and throat feel like they are tearing apart and i cough so hard i vomit but no phlem will come up. i took Nyquil for two days it just made my joints and muscles hurt, then i took Musinex for three days with no effect at all. the only thing that offers even temporary relief is menthol cough drops; i stop coughing by the second one, but i start coughing again a few minutes after i stop using the cough drops.i have been through 2 bags of 100 cough drops each bag in the last 3 days. help! i feel like my chest and abs have been beaten with a bag of rocks and my throat feels like its bulging and going to burst every time i cough.

Most coughs caused by post nasal drip. You probably need to take an antihistamine/decongestant combo, ibuprofen for pain, vaporub on chest (you can buy it in a lotion formula) and a humidifier (often called a cool mist). A lot of times doctors don't prescribe antibiotics for bronchitis for people who don't have chronic lung or respiratory diseases, it takes a little while to get over by yourself, but your body can do it. Drink plenty of fluids to help hydrate your throat as you are probably breathing through your mouth while asleep which dries out the throat tissues and compounds the problem. If white spots are present on your tonsils, since throat is "bulging" you could have strep which would require antibiotics. Good luck.
