Annoying and constant chesty cough.

[yawning801]

I've only had it a few days, but it's stopping me from sleeping! If I breathe in slightly too much, I end up coughing and spluttering. I can taste blood sometimes if I cough too hard and it feels like something's being torn in my chest. Not quite like that, but that's the best way I can describe it. It's come from a cold earlier this week. When I had a shower yesterday and inhaled the steam, it went away for about an hour but now it's back in full force. Anybody got any tips to ease it? I'm going insane!

go see a pharmacist - they can help decide if it is an infection needing a doctor or not, and can sell you a cough medicine for a chesty cough that will loosen and thin the mucus making it easier to get up.

Try difflam throat spray, it numbs the back of the throat and stops the cough reflex for long enough to drop into a deep sleep.

Thank you
