Been coughing pretty violently for a week now with runny/stuffed nose. It isn't sore when I cough at all more of just a violent cough. Any ideas on what it could be?

It could be anything, your best bet would be to just see a doctor and see what they say.
I've booked an appointment but it isn't for another 8 days. I'd like someone with any experience to give me a brief diagnosis so I can go and buy some medicine. It's more of an annoying cough than painful.
It can be a lot of stuff. If it is just a cough and a blocked/runny nose, then it's just a normal cold. But if your feeling sick, got a temp, it would be the flew. If your throwing up ect, it would be a virus.
Weirdly enough I have this, Jen has been useless though. If she comes in here saying use lemon/honey, disregard it!

Also, is your cough worse when you wake up/about to go to sleep?
I also have this bad cough with lots of phlegm and snot, it's getting better now but coughing badly before bed it's a cough that if I didn't cough would just tickle my throat and annoy the **** out of me until i cough.
Yes! When I go to sleep or lie down I start coughing more.Quote:

I went to see my doctor and he said it was asthma. I have an inhaler now and it helps a lot!
Hayfever?
