well you are probably on the tail end of your cold. Just a simple cough suppressant should do the trick. If you had other symptoms I would say visit the urgent care.

there is a real problem at the moment with antibiotics. We have over prescribed them and that is why you are seeing resistant strains more and more frequently. I do not do antibiotics unless I absolutely have to.

I have never tried this, but have heard that if you take a huge dose of laxative--  you wont dare cough!

Sorry-  couldn't resist the attempt at humor ( I was already logged in),  and kids--  DONT TRY THIS AT HOME

have a good one

Delsym works the best for me.  Vicks is the best for helping ease the congestion as well.  Warm whiskey with honey will also work.  If you are really desperate you can do what my aunt did to me and the cousins when we got a sore throat "back in the day".  She would swab our throat with methiolate.  Nasty, but effective!!

Also slop Vicks on the bottom of your feet and put on a pair of heavy wool socks when you go to bed.  Works great for young children who can't have cough medicine.  It makes me feel like i'm soaking in a hot tub.  Try it.
