Trust me mysterons I feel very ill, I've only made it out the house once this week to go to docs and I decided I shouldn't drive until I feel better due to not being very alert! I understand what you're saying though

Caj1 - I think Sqad has given you that popular doctors diagnosis - "it's just one of those things"

Caj, I was told by my respiratory therapist that dairy foods can cause the lungs to produce a thicker mucous which is harder to cough up as it tends to pool in the bottom of the lungs.

I was taught to cough more effectively using the forced expiratory technique (F.E.T.), you may be able to find instructions on how to do this via Google.

My missus had this cough last week and made a hot drink of honey and lemon and a couple of paracetomol tabs and it cleared up in no time. Personally I take ACE tabs every day with all my 15 others. Ain`t had a cold or cough for ages.
