Drink warm water to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. In general most coughs do not last more than 2 weeks. If your cough does last longer than this then it's better to see your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had a breathing problem such as asthma, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis.
