Chronic coughing for 2 weeks :(

[blistex]

How do I get rid of this nagging cough I've been having for two weeks? It seems like anything I put in my mouth or even when I talk I start to cough! Any suggestions without me taking medicine?

Oh dear that sounds unpleasant... have you been to see a doctor?

I had a bad cough a few years ago. It was so bad, I almost got sick. It turned out to be Asthma. Maybe you should see a doctor.

Hmmm two weeks is kinda long, have you seen a doctor?
last year mine was so bad that my doc put me on an inhaler...(I smoke)
dry coughs are the worst, every year I end up with one. and it can take awhile to get rid of.
I don't use any cough medicine, I use tea or candy canes or mints.
none the less go and get it checked!

I also had abad cough a few years ago it turned out to be whooping cough which is going around here in saskatoon[funny by the of this thread you'll have 2 dozen suggestions] maybe you should see the doctor!! Hope you get better.

See a doctor.

As everyone else stated; best to see a doctor as sicknesses don't usually last over a week. Try some over the counter medicine in the mean time to try and make it easier for you during the day

I get bad coughs all the time after a cold. But if it isn't regular for you a check-up would be a good idea. Have you had a TB test lately? You shouldn't freak out or anything, but its possible.
