Had what seemed like a cold about to come on for the past two+ weeks - but nothing more than a minor irritation.

Over last 6 days coughing has become very heavy, deep and frequent. As if I'm a smoker or asthmatic. No phlegm, or if any it's just thick white/clear spit, not green or anything. But the coughing is keeping me up all night, giving me a sore brain and stomach/chest.

Went to Dr. today, he suggested a lingering viral chest infection from what was probably a cold that didn't get me very sick.

Gave me an inhaler salmeterol zinafoate/fluticasone and some codeine (which apparently is a cough suppressant too). Said to come back in a week if not better.

Anyway, not really planning on taking the Codeine until bedtime as I'm not in that much pain and I'm not fond of the stuff. Might help me sleep

But the inhaler is 60 doses. That's 30 days of use. How long should I be using it for?
