I have severe coughing during the day but it's almost non-existent at night. It's a cough, to where something needs to be coughed up, but I just can't. I've been sick for about a week and a half now, but all that's left is the coughing. I've taken all sorts of medicine but nothing seems to be working. My parents won't take me to the doctor, so I'm not sure what else to do.
