I had it for over a week before I found out the best way to take care of it from WLOX TV. Antihistimines, nose spray, and cough syrup. I started the three of them and got rid of the cough in three days. I sure hope other people that read this forum don't take your advice and should go to their doctor before self medicating and experimenting with OTC drugs, which can be much worse for you then your cough....~Raddy~
