Any question answered...

I've got a really productive and persistant cough since I had a heavy cold for the last 6 days or so.

This cough is keeping me awake at night and it has got to the point that all the coughing has strained my stomach muscles and given me a sore throat!

Can anybody recommend a way for me to help my body expel what it is trying to expel? Do expectorants work? Maybe inhale steam?

Stop drinking booze. Eat lots of veg. Drink beroccas. Purchase some tiger balm and some drowsy cough medicine. Not the non drowsy stuff it is shite. Drowsy stuff will also help you sleep.
