Ever since middle school (I'm now a sophomore in college), I tend to get really bad dry coughs when I'm sick. They main, most annoying part is that I get some pretty nasty coughing fits/cough attacks every day for about two or three weeks. It happens once or twice a year without fail. It's been getting worse in recent years: starting two winters ago the coughing fits are bad enough that I constantly wake up at night, get frequent nosebleeds, and have even thrown up.
