blueeye Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks! Is that prescription? Mom has a cough that just started and we haven't mentioned it to the doc yet but I was just wondering and want to be prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Can't answer that one............Tanner didn't mention it. I bet the doc will know though. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have one that is different and works great for me-prescription tho Tessalon Perle 100 mg or generic Benzonatate. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Harry had one called Hydrocodone GG syrup. It stopped the cough, but it can be addictive , and is very strong, so I don't know if that's something you would want to bother with, unless the cough gets REALLY bad. Hope you find something that helps, Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 my dad had a persistent and deep dry cough: tried cherratusin, and tessalon pearls, had an inhaler. none did the trick. last week he went to a pulmonologist who thought it might be an infection. he's on an antibiotic now, but the doc also gave him hydrocodone. The last week his cough has finally started to subside quite a bit---though it is still present. Other things being equal, I;d like to think that the antibiotics were the meds making the difference but we cant be sure. for certain, however, you want to go up the chain of medicine. So you should consult with your doctor, but you might also try over the counter robitussin first to see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
