Oh, please be careful of those. It is possible, if you cough enough, to lose consciousness for a few seconds. Happened to a family member a couple of weeks ago--he was driving on a major interstate, lost control of the car, shot across 3 lanes of traffic, bounced off the guard rail, shot back to the other side and ended up facing the wrong way. And he has NO recollection of what happened after he started coughing. Car was totalled, but luckily, he was okay, he didn't hit anyone else, and no one else hit anything trying to avoid him.

I never realized how dangerous coughing could be, but the dr. says it's not uncommon for people to black out for a few seconds.

Be careful! And hope you don't ever have a spell that bad.

Yep, it hasn't happened for a while. I use to cough and cough and cough, then sneezed several times and of course....wet myself. TMI! Tears would run down my face.

I found sugar free Halls Cough Drops helped. I didn't have to eat the whole thing. I just suck on it for a few minutes and put in in my water bottle cap until another spell hit.

Eye makeup can make me cough. I know it sounds crazy, but it does. I hate it.

Try about 1/2 teaspoon whusteshire (spl) sauce.
It stops those nasty coughs.

I hate it when I cough like that. Right now I'm all bothered with Spring allergies. My eyes are swollen, I look like I've been crying, I sneeze a lot and my throat is sore. I wish it was a cold, I could expect to get better in a few days, but No...ooo.
