I have a dry painful cough. What should I do or take to help get better quickly?

Question

I've been very sick lately. With nasty yellow mucus and painful sinus congestion. This morning my nose seems less stuffy but now I have a dry (no mucus) cough. I'm taking Sudafed PE. I'm aslo very stupid--yesterday I had too shots of vodka. Do you think that's part of the problem. The cough is very painful.

Answer 1

the first and best thing for a cough is water lots of water. 8 glass is recommended but twelve is good when you don't feel good. i sometimes need 16 glasses to start feeling better. a return trip or at least a call to dr would be an idea. drinking while sick is never a good idea. but probably didn't hurt any thing.
