Starting to get sick and it sucks. Im going to the races this weekend and want to feel somewhat ok. I never take medication so I really dont know what works the best. Im looking for something over the counter. Any ideas??

I have had a cough for a month now and I have found that the best cough medicine/suppressant is Robitussin DM.

This is what you are going to need. Be prepared though, this is going around right now and it is about a 2 week cough. Antibotics dont do anything with it since it is viral.

The best is Delsym, 12 hours.
If you can't sleep at nite, call the dr. for some tussin + codeine.

If you can score some tussin con codine... that'll put a nice dent in the cough... but it's perscription only... worth it though... :idea:

i had a cough for three months last winter and nyquil "cough" version (a double dose) was the only thing that worked at night. robitussin could not even touch it.

I take a half gallon of orange juice with extra pulp. Sit there and chug it until its gone. This works for me everytime.

I did a 5 pack of Levaquin, which is way stronger than zpack and it didn't do sh*t to it. This thing is with you for a few weeks.

Is this the stuff with the hydrocodone in it?
Dr. wanted to give me the stuff with the pain killer in it as i described above, but I didn't want the strong pain medicine. I hate taking pain pills.

tequillia is my home remedy for strep throat....2 shots cures me 100% in a few hours.
I've had strep so bad that its put me in the ER a few times...even after being on antibiodics for a week.
Docter Tequillia FTW.
