my lo's have had this - never knew how to stop cough - best just to be ready to clear up. It's awful.

Steam inhalations help me with this - I have sinus problemsthat mean I have episodes where I have to cough over the loo as I end up vomiting. It's horrible I know but the steam helps. The other problem for me is that I cough so hard I end up peeing myself so the loo is the best place to be for that as well !

Awwwww nemo , poor you , Im in state also. dd1 was up till 4 and dh also not home till after bedtime. You have my sympathys and hugs (((((())))).

Ive been having this too. Have you got any ginger ? Its amazing for coughs and being sick too. Ive been grating a small lump into hot water and then waiting for it to cool to add honey , orange peices and lemon.

I know the feeling too, and though my current cold includes horrid cough, I'm not yet at that stage this time. However, I find honey, warm non milky drinks and trying to relax as much as humanly possible, helpful.

The act of drinking something soothing seems to help relax the muscles that spasm when you have a coughing fit so I try and sip slowly as often as possible. Just have a big warm mug of honey lemon and ginger stirred into hot water on the go at all times.

Poor you.

Just seen this, I had a cough like this last year..........it was a chest infection. Might be an idea to get yourself to the docs if you can, just to check. Although hot drinks will soothe it wont get rid of the bug.
Hope you are OK soon
