If you are under 18, if your cough has persisted for more than 2 weeks, if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, a fever over 101.5, or any other symptoms it is particularly important that you contact your healthcare provider before self treating your cough.

If you currently take an ACE inhibitor such as lisinopril and develop a cough, notify your doctor, they may want to discontinue the medication.

Quitting smoking and avoiding inhaled irritants such as pollen, dust and fragrances can help decrease irritation and inflammation of the throat, soothing a cough. Staying hydrated is also recommended in order to thin and clear mucous. The use of a humidifier, cough drop products, and using an expectorant such as guaifenesin are recommended to treat a mucous production cough.
