Can a bad cough cause your ribs to hurt?

If you cough enough to make your ribs sore, a doctor's appointment is necessary to determine the cause, as you may break your ribs if it continues. If your cough is productive = you cough up phlegm, then do not take cough suppressant medication and be sure not to swallow the phlegm. An expectorant will help. If you have a dry cough = no phlegm, then a cough suppressant (antitussive) will do you wonders. However, most OTC products are ineffective, so get a prescription or ask your pharmacist for something with codeine. Alternatively, dark chocolate 100g or over can be very effective.


Which plant is used to cure cough and cold?

There are many different ones, but the likely most often used and most helpful of the preparations that are made from plants for a cough or cold comes from the guaiac tree and is called guaifenesin. The guaiac tree is native to America and the Native Americans used it for cough and cold remedies, just as is done by so many of us today thanks to their willingness to share the information and medicine with European settlers. It is used as an expectorant (helps you cough up sputum) to help with coughs and clear the airway of phlegm for easier breathing. It is the active ingredient in many cough medicines available over-the-counter in US drugstores, including Robitussin brand preparations and their generic equivalents. It is highly recommended by doctors and is one of the most frequently suggested medications for those who have a cold or the flu, such as for swine flu (H1N1/09) during the pandemic.

Can I take guaifenesin and Flonase?

Yes. Many cold remedies are a combination of these two drugs (usually also including detromethorphan, a cough suppressant). Guafenesin is an expectorant--it loosens phlegm or mucus making it easier to cough up. Sudafed is a brand name for pseudoephedrine, the decongestant that appears to be the most effective. In the U.S., however, pseudoephedrine has become a "restricted" product not because of the intended use as a decongestant but because some people used it to make homemade methamphetamine, a dangerous drug (meth or crystal meth). For that reason, products with pseudoephedrine (like sudafed) often have to be purchased from "behind the counter"--you have to request that a pharmacist gets it for you and they may ask you to sign a log showing that you bought it and how much. THis is only so that any large purchases (for meth use) can be spotted easily by drug crime investigators. So sudafed is safe and effective in most people, although of course there are side effects to watch for. And it can be combined with expectorant (guafenesis) or cough suppressants (detromethorphan).
