Not all the time,it might be the milk but not sure.

Now when I try to cough,but not all the time its like trying to cough through a wind tube and nothing "clears"
Any advice on taking something liquid(maybe not cough medicine)so I can clear my throat.
Thanks in advance.

See your GP and get it sorted.

A little lemon water with honey could be worth a try infoman.
Warm lemonade too.

Thank you for that,
would that be a squeezed fresh warm lemon?

By the time she sees her GP MOnica, the cough could be gone.

Sorry for late reply Infoman.
Warm is best as the honey melts.
Hope your feeling better soon.

You could try inhaling steam. That helps loosen secretions. Pour kettle of boiling water into bathroom sink and put towel over head and breathe in the steam. Repeat as often as you need to. Hope you feel better soon.

A drop or two of Olbas Oil in the steam can help, too.
