Even to this day, it still gets triggered which is why I generally have a cough drop or two in my jacket pockets all winter long. They help coat the throat and allow me not to cough. But it has never translated into coughing inside. But we do run a whole house humidifier all winter long so perhaps that is why it never translated to indoors.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-78795310972450473012023-02-06T08:29:01.302-05:002023-02-06T08:29:01.302-05:00I think finding the right pcp will be a big help

The first is for Tim's medication, and the second to wake William up and get him off to school. Friday I was so tired that when the 4 am one went off, I was headed to get William up. Tim was on the couch. He said, "I already took my medicine." It was then I noticed what time it was. <br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-68158158612833232522023-02-05T10:04:26.956-05:002023-02-05T10:04:26.956-05:00I still have a lot of questions about it, but we c...I still have a lot of questions about it, but we cannot deny that the things they suggest do work.

Once the coughing begins, it just seems to build on itself. But there is no doubt that running the vaporizer helps. If something triggers the cough, benzonatate quiets it. The other thing that confuses us is that he has never had this before. I am curious whether a bad cold can bring something like this on?
