Point is to keep mucous up in head, throat area. Throw bunch parsley and fresh spinach into a quart pot and simmer like a tea. Strain and drink as often as you wish. Will get rid of mucus if no other complication."

[WARNING!]  05/08/2009: Faith from Pj, Selangor Malaysia writes: "I had a horrible reaction to taking a reputable brand of organic peppermint oil (one drop) in a quarter cup of water to stop a cough. Immediately upon drinking I began to feel dizzy and almost passed out. The dizziness and weakness lasted approximately two weeks and about four days respectively. It didn't help my cough either."

I could not stop coughing badly..found pickle juice, the kind that is found in chiller section at the store.. this also has garlic in it..Work within seconds have been taking little sips. That is all as it is high in salt.. but that seems to be clearing congestion as well."

ALLELUYA!!I AM A 51 YEAR OLD MALE AND GET A YEARLY COUGH DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THAT CAN LAST 1 TO 3 WEEKS. SOMETIMES IT IS BACTERIAL WITH GREENIES AT THE START BUT MOST OF THE DURATION AFTER THAT IS JUST THE CLEAR SINUS DRANAGE THAT GOES ON FOR DAYS AFTER AND SOME MAY BE DUE TO ALLERGIES OF SPRING. THIS COUGH IS THE KIND THAT IS MOST SEVERE IN THE NIGHTIME HOURS. THE LOGIC I USED IS THAT THE COUGH WAS MORE OF A GAG REFLEX FROM THE NASAL DRIP AND I THOUGHT IF I GOOD CHANGE THE CHEMISTRY OF THE NASAL DRIP CLOSER TO THE SOURCE BEFOR IT REACHED MY THROAT IT MAY WORK PLUS THE AROMATIC QUALITIES BEING AS CLOSE TO THE SOURCE MAY HELP. I ALSO WANTED SOMETHING THAT WOULD LAST . I FIGURED IT IS ALMOST AS THICK AS VICK'S VAPO RUB SO VHALA MIRACULOUS DISCOVERY. THE NIGHT I USED A SMALL AMOUNT IT LASTED ABOUT 2-3 HOURS SO I GOT UP AND PUT MORE ON THE SECOND DOSE. THE 2ND-3RD NIGHT I USED A HEALTHY SIZE SWAB DOSE AT 10-30PM AND SLEPT TILL 6AM BY THE FOURTH DAY I STOPPED AND THE COUGH WAS GONE. UNREAL!!!!!!! AT FIRST APPOX 5-10 MINUTES IT FEELS SLIGHTLY IRRATIBLE BUT NO MORE THAN WATER FROM A SWIMMING POOL GOING UP YOUR NOSE. IT WORKED FOR ME BUT I AM NOT RECOMENDING IT TO ANYONE, BUT PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU TRY IT LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKED: TUNAMAN40@AOL. BEST OF HEALTH TO ALL"

He coughed to the point that I thought he was going to blow a lung and he even threw up a couple of times cough was so bad. I tried honey, cough drops, cool mist vaporizor, vicks on chest soles of feet, every over the counter cough syrup . NOTHING and I mean nothing would work.

THIS PART IS IMPORTANT!!! Medical doctors no longer prescribe cough meds for children and the over the counter ones was worthless. I have got about six different kinds in my cabinet. My child was coughing to the point of being blue in the face. After talking to doc to no avail and every pharmacy in town to know avail. I took to the internet and found since NO PRESCIPTION FOR COUGH was availiable anymore. That children need breathing treatments and steroids.

Now check this out! Yea, I do all the work and research to get my child help. Then I have to take him back to med doc and tell him what I researced and pay him $50.00 for a visit and get prescription written. My son not even 24 hours on breathing treatment and steroids is a lot better already. At least 40% better. Seems INFLAMMATION is the root of all of this coughing mess. And breathing treatment soothes the bronchial tubes and steroids reduce swelling to allow mucus ( Post nasal drip ) not to be as irritating to the throat.

Now I looked high and low on here and every other natural remedy website and could not find a cure for this chronic cough. I LOVE EARTHCLINIC and have used many of these remedies with sucess. But there was not much info on here about SWELLING and INFLAMMATION. I myself had to be put on steroids and antibotics because of ear infection. SWELLING/ INFLAMED.

I can cure myself with garlic most of the time and get rid of congestion and fever and what not. But inflammation and the clear fluids that will not go away or drain properly, I need help with. People with knowledge about this please inform me on this subject. I just could not take seeing my son in that condition."

06/24/2011: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Would you be willing to try acupuncture or Chinese herbs? That helped me. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, that can be an indication that the chi is too weak for the cough to be productive, meaning, it's trying to do its work which is why it's persistent but the power of the body is too weak for it to produce the effects. Hope this helps."
