finally over my cough!!!

Is there a possibility of a popcorn-cough connection?

Yes indeed there is, but only with microwave popcorn. Google "popcorn lung". It's a very real illness and popcorn factory workers have died from it.

I am now convinced that this is what was making me sick all winter and my doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong, I went to him three times about it. I was eating microwave popcorn every other night, on a kick all winter with it. All winter I kept getting sick- headaches, raging sore throat, tickling coughing, ear aches, mucus....same symptoms over and over. I was miserable.
Now I make my own homemade popcorn and am not sick anymore. This is just a thought in case she is eating a lot of microwave popcorn- might be something to look into.

Well we just got a supersized version of "medium" bag of pop corn, kettle corn to be precise. Nope that ain't it for my cough.

Coughing up blood is really bad!!

Mine has been just hacking. Just a stubborn viral thing. Not much one can do but to outlast it somehow though it's gotten to be really old yuck.

Thank you to all the ladies who have responded. Just talking about it really helped me with my psyche. The coughing is not only annoying, it was getting me bit down, unable to ride and feeling lethargic.

Did go out on my TT bike at lunchtime Monday. Just an easy 10 miler boy was it hot hot hot!!!

thank you
