hi @Former-Member I slept okay in the end, just made sure I was really tired and try to relax so dont cough guess, once start, hard to stop.
Dr examined me other day, said all signs normal, throat clear, lungs clear, O2 okay, heart okay
I had a sore well, neck more than throat few days before cough and was working in a very dusy (toxic no doubt) area etc so tests said not cold, flu or covid, phlegm green (still) might try to see dr in day or 2 if still happening. What I used to do was just go for a swim and that would clear lungs out and stop cough lol, dont really feel up to that though. Will try pineapple. Dr said stuff from chemist is a waste of time lol

YAY! Go @TAB . Yes it was pineapple juice with honey and other things like ginger. Apparently it does work better than cough syrup. Some of these cough syrups don't mix with psych medications. I used to take a cheap cough mixture that was not contraindicated with meds. But yeah pineapple juice seems to work better. I hope you get it under control - good luck!
