I have seen the recent reports on the new "100 days cough" illness.. and lo and behold the very next day i start to cough. Has anyone else been blessed with this recently? I am giving myself headache by coughing constantly, sometimes until i vomit or cant catch my breath... have to sleep on my rubber blanket with a towel on and wear pads because of constant stress leakage..
How are you easing symptoms? Im getting bored of weeing myself. Steam inhalations, whiskey and lemon, cough mixture, all tried, none work.  |

You could try a room humidifier, put a few drops of eucalyptus or mint oil in for good measure.
The moisture in the air will help reduce irritation and reduce coughing.
I hope you get better soon.

We've just started coughing this week. I keep a bottle of simple linctus by the bed and just take a mouthful straight from the bottle in the night (classy I know). Apart from that nothing stops it except warm drinks and a sweet. I hope you get better from it soon. |

I have just had covid so i'm coughing lots however due to bad asthma i already coughed a lot !
I use a nebuliser daily with a saline solution in it, that helps calm down the coughing and loosen any irritants and soothe my throat etc. My GP suggested that.
Also i sleep almost upright, that helps too.
Good luck  |

Talk to your GP. I had a cough that just wouldn’t go.. GP prescribed an inhaler (not the regular Ventolin for asthma) and a few puffs now and again over the course of a week seemed to alleviate my coughing reflex and I’ve had no return |

Paul has been coughing since Christmas.
Its a virus, usually 6 to 10 weeks.
A precautionary chest x-ray around 4 weeks.
All good.
Usual stuff, paracetamol, fluids, get out of house for exercise and expect sore ribs.
Keep an eye on what, if anything, you cough up.
Tends to get you down as it feels never ending.
Got him back to work, nothing worse than moping around the house, more occupied, less cough. |

Mine started first week of december !
Just coming out of it now
Covid at 4 weeks then a head cold mid january really didnt help
But a week away in the sun last week really helped
As an ex smoker now vaping the zero nicotine menthol vape seemed to help  |

Been 10 weeks, broken ribs through crazy coughing. Humidifier and sleeping as upright as possible helped. On the mend now but still occasional coughing and sore ribs. Hope yours doesn’t last as long  |

Had mine 3 weeks ( woman )
Yesterday seemed it eased away…
But last week it seemed same for 3 days and came back with a vengeance..
Antibiotics didn’t help it.
Just had lots of Vicks on chest and feet, lemon cough sweets and paracetamol.
Hopefully it settles for you soon.

Mine started 4th Jan. Doctor gave course of antibiotics. Still had it 4 weeks later so second trip to doctors and diagnosed ‘100 day cough’. Clear precautionary chest X-ray and only recommendation was to take 1 anti histamine at night (I didn’t).
It’s gradually getting better with just the odd coughing fit but doctor himself said it took him 10 weeks to get over it. |

Both my husband as our daughter gave had this. Daughter has been under the weather since September. Cough is finally going now.
My husband really struggled to breathe with the cough, but his is improving now too.
It's been more than 100 days. |

Coughs are often caused by irritations of one sort or another. I am bronchiectactic, and have been since I was 8 years old. My support kit comprises honey, boiled sweets (saliva producing) and you will never ever see me anywhere in the world without a travel mug of liquid. I find sleeping on my side helps me breath easier so my throat doesn't get dry and always have juice by the side of the bed. As a back up, I have an inhaler which stops coughing immediately |

I had that, either around or at the same time as a dose of COVID. And yes, it's still hanging around like a bad smell, along with a mess of messy post-COVID stuff. May or may not be connected, but the permanent "dry" throat is severely annoying. (And of course, limiting to my sex life. Can't be doing quite a few bits of fun stuff with a random cough. Y'know. Teeth would be a problem.)
Have tried pretty much all OTC remedies, and steam, and not much works except a very hot shower or long bath. Which is also just a nice way to relax. |

Got a cold two weeks ago, thought it was gone, got a tattoo and that sent my immune system into a spiral, now have a cold again. Except this time it’s gone a lovely dry cough as a breezy bonus |

I thought I was relatively fit. But 12 days of coughing and fever. Everything is now easing. Except the cough. The inhaler does help a bit. Love to all who have to endure it. I’ll hope for improvement next week.  |

“Whooping cough, also known as the ‘100-day cough’ and caused by the Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) bacteria, is making a resurgence, after cases almost disappeared during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suspected cases of the disease, characterised by violent coughing fits that sometimes end in a whoop-like gasp for breath, are at a 15-year high in England and Wales, according to the number of notifications from GPs collected by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).”

Stop reading. I’ve been fucking coughing for the last week after a couple of days of mild flu symptoms. I know I’m sick because my blood glucose monitor is running high. |

5 day cough was bad enough but was only bad for 3 days.
Hopefully well on the mend now and isn't really the 100 day version!
Could have put up with it during winter but not now the outdoor shagging season is almost here. Wouldn't be a good conversation starter. |

I’m fucking dying…. Whatever this thing is, it’s kicking my arse! I thought the lovely weather in Portugal for my holiday would have cleared it all up for me. But nope, been to doctors, prescribed antibiotics, went through them like shit through a goose & I’m feeling like shit.
It’s horrendous, vomited several times today & the worst part is, it feels like someone is choking me, & I’m trying to gasp for breath! THIS FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!’ :| |

Iv had this just over 4 weeks now. The only thing thats got me to feel somewhat human for a few hours is Barbara o Neil's flu bomb recipe. You can find it on social media. But Il save you the trouble:
Hot water, add to it a clove of crush garlic, fine dice or grate about a tea spoon of ginger, 1 drop tea tree oil, squeeze out a full lemon. A tea spoon of cayanne pepper (or as much as you can handle). Finish with a spoon of good quality honey.
This calms my coughing opens my air ways I can breath from my nose I don't feel like a zombie. Sorts me out for a good few hours then I make another one. 3 a day keeping me sane. Been doing it about 5 days now cleared some vile mucus out from this its amazing! I'm almost 100% betterer.
Hope this helps

the 100 day cough you are referring to is whooping cough mostly being caught by unvaccinated children, theres also a bad cold or flu doing the rounds which lasts for 6 weeks. Covid is rife as well just now and there are reports of a throat infection caused by Thrush. hope this clears a few things up |

all the latest scientific studies say the flavours of the vape is the most dangerous aspect of it. menthol is by far the worst of all the flavours to inhale. thats why they are tring to ban flavours in vapes totally |

As I said, nothing like as bad as when it first started, couldn’t string a sentence together without coughing, each time I took a breath I wanted to cough. Now it’s mainly when I eat or take a cold drink. |

Try staying off certain foods and see if that helps. For me it was milk and protein shakes. |

Try taking anti histamine. It’s reduces the bodies natural reaction to cough. Saves me a lot of annoying coughing x |

Had it since end March. Hospital for 5 days due to syncope due to coughing so violently and 3 weeks off work. Still coughing now after 3 different antibiotics and high codeine doses. It turned out to be whooping cough so comes under highly contagious diseases category. |

I didnt hear of this but finally mine is getting better after about 10 weeks of coughing constant then not being able to take a breath in, and pulled allsorts of chest muscles! I should be ripped like arnie schwarz but unfortunately not lol... never rang doctors as always a pain for appointment to be told 'its viral' most probably??... started with what felt like a hair deep in my throat then just got worse. Felt like being suffocated! Gladly now hardly coughing and able to finally begin jogging again x
Hope for anybody with this to have a speedy recovery! X

"Wonder if its anything to do with the chemicals they are spraying across the skies ? Or the 5G radiation ? Maybe its deliberate to depopulate ? "
What bugs me about that, is literally everyone on the planet is breathing the same air, so if you're knowingly spreading highly toxic fumes then you're hurting yourself amd anyone you care about. Not to mention the amount of people it would take to run that operation, and supposing all are in on it lol  |

Cider Vinegar... One dessert spoon and 2 dessert spoon of water to dilute.
Gargle and drink it down. Best thing for immovable glut. It kills bacteria etc, also helps with digestion. If you can handle it a bit stronger then do so, but careful with it. |

It's covid, complications from covid, and a variety of post covid infections that take hold ever easier because your immune system is fucked from all the covid. Society pretending that it isn't covid, and that it's not caused by multiple bouts of covid that are still occuring two years after Johnson announced "pandemic over", will not do anything to help recover your health. |

Try lungwort and mullein herbs if you're looking for a miracle (check the reviews online), you can drink it as a tea or you can smoke it.
