Any idea what causes the cough? is she sick is it allegys? does she smoke? is it a dry cough is she coughing stuff up? Did the doc do a chest exray to see if there was fluid in her lungs from nemonia or anything? every now and then i start coughing and cant stop for a month or so thanks to wonderful allergys. Best ways to stop allergy coughs other then just making sure everything around where your at is clean at least for me is one of those crazy expensive ionic air cleaners. Had the normal hepa air filters and they never seemed to do any good at all. Cleriton works well to take for allegys if thats it. but if her blood pressure is something you need to watch make sure you dont get the cleriton D that has the decongestant in it. thats what raises blood pressure.

If its not a allergy thing and she dosnt smoke then she must be sick respitory infection maybe. Have had plenty of those and they can lead to nemonia and thats even more annoying. Now im not real familar with Tussinex but i think its just a cough suppresant. kinda the same thing as a cough drop. Did the doctor prescribe anything else with it? antibiotic or something? Give her a shot while she was there or anything?

If he didnt do a chest xray and didnt prescribe anything other then tussinex i would suggest finding a diffrent doctor and getting a second opinion. Of corse im not a doctor but... i am a insominac that has a joke for a immune system so i get sick alot. just speaking from personal experiance.
