Speaking as someone with a current viral respiratory infection of some kind that was just prescribed Benzonatate and Albuterol, there needs to be a much more effective treatment for a bad dry cough. It’s pure misery.
i sometimes get really bad bouts of chronic bronchitis for 3 weeks on end. There’s no silver bullet but I really like Vic’s vapor rub, a humidifier, and ricola cough drops. To sleep, I usually stack 2/3 pillows so my nose drains properly. When I wake up in the middle of the night hacking, I sit in the shower with a ton of steam.
One time I spent a lot of time in the shower and lost feeling in my skin for over a year. I don't think it ever came back fully to be honest. Just be careful to not fall asleep in a shower.
