How to make the coughing stop?
My husband had a mild cold about 3 weeks ago. After a week, he was still just coughing here and there. Nothing big.
Now we’re on to week 4. He STILL has a dry hacking cough that develops ONLY at 7:00 pm and is gone by 9:00 AM. That’s it.
He is using a throat spray to take care of the tickle, the cough really hasn’t changed. It’s a dry cough, similar to a smoker’s cough but for someone who isn’t a smoker nor is around smokers, it’s not quite that.
I’m trying to make him go to the doctor (for one, the annoyance level to hear it at 10:00 when he gets back from work). He’s agreed to go next week (for now).
Any ideas?
No, I’m not asking you to take his symptoms and make a firm diagonses. I just need some clue as to whether I should worry or not.
I’ve been trying to make him take Prilosec, just in case it’s a symptom of GERD. We just started it yesterday, so it hasn’t REALLY improved.
