My husband and I both have a virus that causes head congestion and a phlemmy cough that you cant spit up.  Ive tried the old fashioned mustard plaster, cough medicines, camphorated oil on the throat and chest as well as inhalers but nothing is a relief for the cough....any suggestions?
Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor. I understand your concern and I think I might help you. You have tried some very good options before but as I see they haven't held much. Generally at these stage I recommend to my patients to take Naceyilcisteine for a week and omeprazole 20 mg 2 times a day for a week also. Sometimes after a flu it needs some time for the cough to go away and the major part of the patients need two weeks or more. There is nothing to be afraid to till now. Should you have any further concern don't hesitate to write. Wish you good health
