Allergic to Cough Medicine
I have a really bad cough and am allergic to cough medicine. Any suggestions on what I can do to get the cough to go away?

Why do you think you are allergic to cough medicine? What is in the cough medicine that you are allergic to? There are most likely some other cough meds that you can take.

You need to stay hydrated, maybe suck on some lozenges.

I'm allergic to guaifenesen and dextromethorphan, the main active ingredients. When I was younger, I tried three different brands and vomited each time, which was how we discovered that I can't have guaifenesen. More recently, I had a headache and stuffy nose, took Tylenol Head Congestion, which has dextromethorphan in it, and got nauseous. I have been drinking a lot of water and the cough is still there.

Oh, hun, I am sorry you are suffering so. If this is the case, you need to get into the doctor to get some meds. You will need something so that you do not develop pneumonia.
