Hi Sue, how old please? Also, have you had a baseline x-Ray of your lungs? Are you on any medication that would exacerbate the symptoms of a cough like bp or heart medicine? The cough you're describing doesn't sound good but without knowing your medical history it's hard to say what's causing it. Are you on any medication, and if so which ones?

Go see your doctor if it lasts a few more weeks. It's most likely just allergies or something like that but you won't have peace of mind until you have an exam.

i take bp meds too regularly. Cant stop or downsize them.
Now i crush raw garlic cloves, wait for it for 10 minutes, then i swallow with water like pills, sometimes i put them in the hot, salt water gargle.
i chew on cardamon to keep my throat wet.
