Need some cough help

[Saladcrab]

Last week I found out my tonsils where growing back and given antibiotics for the tonsillitis. Since then I have the worst cough I thought it had gone and got better but it hasn’t my chest aches a little and almost tickles I cough up little bits of mucus occasionally. I’ve tried mucus decongestants hot drinks Vics lots of steam nothings working. Ive done a pcr test and lots of lft all negative it’s making it really hard to leave the house due to the cough as I keep getting stared at any remedies that might help I’ve even tried not coughing but it just feels like I have lots of stuck mucus in my chest

Sympathise. I've had a cough for 5 weeks following a cold. Not covid. Having to explain myself to clients numerous times a day, it's embarrassing. I've told all my neighbours as I'm pretty sure they all thought I had covid as can no doubt hear me coughing.
Finally got a face to face GP appointment next week after many tears of frustration, it really shouldn't be this hard to see a doctor.
Nothing works for mine other than sleeping propped up at night and carrying water everywhere I go. Oh and sometimes getting on all fours to cough, sounds weird but it helps.
If you're on antibiotics I would imagine that will sort yours out if it's an infection.

Suck a sweet such as Sula, lots of flavours to choose from.

Avoid dairy products, they make mucus much worse.

Pineapple juice is said to be good for coughs.
