The only thing that seems to help me is menthol-eucalyptus cough drops. My husband buys them 5 and 6 bags at a time. It is terrible on my teeth all that sugar but they work. I know how horrible it is to cough all the time. ….Gigi

yes, use a humidifier in your sleeping area. It makes a super difference every year for me (the sick one) and for my family (the nonsick one). Lack of sufficient moisture in the lungs, especially scarred lungs tends to harbor bacteria and cause colds, coughs, bronchitis and stuff Steph p.s. am not a doc, please consult your for medical advice.

I was told it might help my breathing to use a humidifier in my room at night especially during the winter when we have dry heat being pumped into our homes. We did purchase one and I really can’t say if it has or hasn’t helped but I’ll keep you all posted. *** Love, Hugs and well wishes From *** Sherry Messick, Visit My Site!
