Suggest Treatment For Cough And Sore Throat
I have had this hacking cough now for about a week and 1/2. I have been taking OTC cough syrup and it's not helping. Because of this cough, my throat is sore and my voice is becoming raspy. The cough gets worse at nigh. What can be done to relive these symtoms?
