ok internets, I need your help/recommendations...

This is week 5 of this damn cold/cough/plague thing. I have regained most of my hearing but now I have entered the phase where I just can't stop coughing...

It would be one thing I guess if these were productive coughs but they are shallow painful things that seem to be only good at pulling muscles in my lower back. :(

I've been to the doctor twice already and he says there isn't anything he can do for me. It just needs to run it's course. He is claiming people have had similar symptoms for as long as 6 weeks this year.

So I am turning to you. I feel pretty good when I am not coughing. Help me stop, please!

I am looking for home remedies ,over the counter drug recommendations, herbal supplements anything that might get rid of the tickle in my throat...

I am currently taking:

Musinex DM, 12 hour expectorant and cough suppressant.

Allegra D. Prescription Allergy medication with 12 hour sudifed,

Advil Liquigels every 4 to 6 hours as needed (mostly for the coughing induced head aches and back aches.)

MY infinite love and good karma goes to the person who suggests the drug/remedy/magic cocktail that gets me through this.
