Bad cough?

This cold started with a cough, then added a sore throat on the left side.
This is the 3rd day and the cough got worse.
The cough is dry and today I almost threw up from it as I could barely swallow. My throat still hurts even after drinking tons of hot water with raw honey.
Cough is also causing pain in lower right side abdomen.

What can I take?
I just started taking cough suppressants because I cant deal with it anymore but would try homeopathy ... Thanks!

Please have a dose of Lachesis 200c and report back.

If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill under the tongue.

If your remedy is in liquid form:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
That’s one dose.
 
fitness last decade
Thanks! Interesting, I'll try to find the pills, so I'll need only 1 dose, meaning 1 pill, correct?
 
Mika80 last decade
Can you pls also recommend a immunity booster? I keep on getting sick :(

I was reading on another post
Calc Carb 30 - 1 dose
Phos 30 - 1 dose
Lyco 30 - 1 dose

Would that work for me too?

Thanks

Mika80 last decade
Correct, one dose is one pill.

This immunity booster is rubbish, ignore it.

Once your cough & throat is fine, then report back. There is another questionnaire for your constitutional treatment, it will boost your immunity.
 
fitness last decade
Great! I am picking that up tonight!
Can't wait to try the constitutional treatment, I am soooo tired of getting sore throats!!!
 
Mika80 last decade
Ok, took remedy yesterday around 5 pm after NOT Coughing almost all day.
Around 7 I started a productive cough.
Sore throat going as strong as ever, can hardly swallow.
Coughed at night, mostly dry.
Woke up with sore throat still in place.
Cough comes and goes.
No major improvements noticed yet.
Pls advice
Yesterday I went to dr just to make sure I don't have strep. I don't.
 
bluesky77 last decade
Has there has been no change at all (good or bad)?
 
fitness last decade
Not really, maybe the cough became a little productive (mucus) while before was dry. No other changes noticed.
 
bluesky77 last decade
If it became product after the dose then wait for 24 hrs and report back.

In the meanwhile, do gargles with warm saline water.

Thanks, sorry abt double user, using my sister's account (who told me abt this website!).

Please think and then explain in DETAIL:

For Cough: Q-2,3

Without clear symptoms I won't be able to prescribe.
