When I have a cold or flu it usually ends with a very dry painful cough. Coughing fits start with little or no warning and remind me of when I had whooping cough as a child. These spasms can be very frightening leaving me fighting for breath and feeling totally exhausted, and the current cough is the worse I have experienced for years.
So far I have tried Pholcodine dry cough linctus, but this doesn’t seem to be working very well this time.
As I have Diabetes type 2 I have seen a doctor, and been put on a course of antibiotics.
As winter hasn’t started yet I am dreading the next few months, and would also like to know if there is anything I can do or take as a preventative for the future. I will be particularly interested to know of any alternative remedies
