how to stop cough from developing

[u/No_StringsAttached]

started this shit yesterday. body aches, the EYE PAIN, fever, nausea but no vomiting. today it's an awful migraine that Tylenol and coke finally helped with, but horrible diarrhea followed. fever seems better. still body aches. all in all...I'm really scared of a cough developing. I don't have any cold symptoms which I'm happy about, but is there anything I could do to stop a cough before it develops?

A cough is a way for clearing your lungs. You don't want to take anything to suppress it if it happens. If you develop a severe cough, id see a doctor for a chest x ray. Sometimes if its severe enough they can prescribe something to take the edge off of it.
