Chronic cough at night
Is there an over the counter cough remedy that could help with the chronic cough? Loo
Hi
and thanks for your post and question - it's a good one! You may be aware we cannot provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet (for your own safety), but your concern certainly warrants a reply.
There are so many over-the-counter (OTC) cough remedies that it is understandable that you might want some guidance in choosing what would be best for yourself and, your particular level of disease. This is something you may want to discuss with your physician. Your doctor knows you best and will be able to guide you accordingly. Alternatively, you may want to discuss this with your local pharmacist. Pharmacists can be a tremendously helpful resource when it comes to the array of OTC products that are available.
What do you think?

You are quite welcome,
- it's our pleasure! This sounds like a very practical and prudent plan - speaking with your pharmacist now, and the pulmonologist at the upcoming appointment next month. Please do let us know how this all turns out for you. We have a genuine concern for your good health!

Hi! Did you end up talking with your pharmacist? I hope you were able to find something that fits your needs. Some of our members do use OTC medications as part of their routine with good success, so if your doctor is okay with it, I am hopeful this will be a new tool you can use. Wishing the very best for you! -Melissa, copd team
Thsnk you for checking in with me.I did speak with the doctor and he recommended trying Tussin DM. Also that using my rescue inhaler may help. I did try that and it has helped.
