Felony Cough

Thanks to H1N1 coughing is nearly a felony -- especially if you don't cover your mouth.

Luckily, not every cough is a sign of the swine flu. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do for a cough. It's probably one of the most complicated responses in the human body.

The next time you have a cough that doesn't seem to go away, try a home remedy. Honey has had some luck as a cough suppresant. Some medicines help a little.

If the cough is from an allergic reaction, treating the allergy might help.

Since almost everything you try has such a small chance of working, be sure to carry tissues with you when you have a cough. Always cover your cough and toss the tissue in the trash. If you don't have tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow rather than your hand -- you're less likely to pass your germs on to others that way.
