persistant cough

[rsvp]

Would appreciate any suggestion for the following problem. Rarely get colds etc but about six weeks ago got a bad dose of laryngitis coupled with a bronchial type cough - completely lost my voice for two days - have never had anything like this before. Didn't feel too ill but I still have a niggly cough as though I've got something stuck in my lungs or throat or have been in a smokey atmosphere - can't clear it. Have tried honey, lemon, cough sweets etc. I gave up smoking about 12/13 years ago. Thank you

I will assume that you voice is back to normal.

The cough will settle within the next 2 weeks.

if ir doesn't, then see your GP.

You could try steam inhalations.
Hang over a bowl of very hot water with a towel over your head and inhale the steam.
You could put some menthol crystals or eucalyptus oil in the water , if you want. (Get both from Boots or any chemist).
Can't hurt and might help to clear your 'tubes'.

Bromhexin, not totally sure if available in UK. Certainly works though.

thank you for your answers ladyalex and bromhexin -I'm sure it's nothing serious, just annoying.
