I just got over the flu 2 weeks ago, and I still have a constant dry hacking cough. Any suggestions as to how to get rid or atleast subdue the cough? Tried cough drops/syrup, doesn't work. (I am not a smoker, so that's not a factor)

Try a drink with warm water and honey, Opera singers use it for throats, it may help

If you have had this for 2 weeks, I would consult with your doctor. Even though it is a dry cough, doesnt mean you don't need some antibiotics cause it could be coming from your sinuses.

take a raw egg, put lot of pepper powder and have it. It is a traditional medicine, works fine in my family.

Have you talked to your doctor? You very well might still have either a sinus infection left which is draining and making you cough, in which case antibiotics are the cure probably. Or, you could have coughed so much you have bronchitis, in which case again, you might need either antibiotics or a medicine with codeine or something to keep you from coughing and continuing to irritate your upper bronchials. "Hacking" coughs= wet coughs = mucous.

I think it just goes on for a while after recovering from an illness. It happens to me all the time.

Take four badams and make it hot and then eat this for or days

Drink plenty of water to flush out those toxins and to keep your body well hydrated.
