Equal parts of Bacardi 151 proof rum, honey, and lemon juice. Coffee cup 2/3 full of boiling water, and top it off with the rum/honey/lemon juice mixture. Sip as hot as you can tolerate it. Even if it doesn't stop the cough, you just won't care!

Walking/atypical pneumonia. Mycoplasma. Phuuck home remi dies. Get a Z-pack. I've been tested thoughly by my Primary Care doc. & My Military Doc. Chest x-rays and CT scan...nothing except one spot of scar tissue probably from smoking. Have never been able to get rid of it completely since bout with COVID. Then returned with a vengeance after breathing a supposedly a safe chemical (dcon-30) trying to kill some crawlspace mold about 6 months ago. I wore a respirator but with a beard and sweating those things leak sometimes.

Get a cough syrup that has guaifenesin in it. It’s a cough suppressant. That’s the expectorant. Deyextromethorphan is the cough suppressant I believe. The codeine cough syrup is hands down the best. It holy Fück they hate to prescribe that now. You are correct, sir. The equate stuff I keep on hand for allergy season has both and I got them conflated. Tks! Not the home recipe the OP was looking for, but it’s fast, effective for 12 hours.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

You in an ACE inhibitor for high BP? Actually yes I'm on 10mg of Lisinopril that I started back in early December. That could line up with when the cough got worse. You might be onto something 🙂 This will do it. Talk to your MD about a different BP med. If you're a smoker, quit. Do whatever you need to do to get off BP meds altogether. Again, maybe not what you want to hear, but quality of life takes a certain amount of effort on your part...the older you get, the more work it takes.

You might be onto something 🙂 Tell your doctor/cardiologist about the cough coinciding with going on lisinopril - it's a known side effect. Happened to me - they switched me to losartan, cough went away.

1 cup OJ
2-3 Tablespoons finely grated ginger
1-2 teaspoons honey
Good shake of cinnamon
1-2 shots of hooch, if desired
Heat in a saucepan, strain the ginger if you must, then sip it & feel the magic. Cleans chest & sinus, soothes throat, quiets cough.
Make a big batch, and put remainder in a thermos to keep on the nightstand. It can come in handy if you wake in the night.
FC Trying it now with Bourbon. Working so far.

Quit in 2008 and going to the gym 5 days a week and dieting. Thanks for the good info!

Happened to me - they switched me to losartan, cough went away. May be ACE cough. If you take the meds in the am does it get bad late in the afternoon or early evening? Regardless, I’d try another formulation. Covid has been known to give folks a lingering cough as well.

Take early morning... 10 minute episode mid morning, mid afternoon, another in the evening and then when I get in bed at night so about 4 times a day it hits.
